What we often call “blood cancer”, specialists, and
or rather, oncologists are accustomed to call it “hemoblastosis”. In fact
– such a disease is not the only disease here
includes a whole group of different tumors that affect
hematopoietic tissue diseases. This is also the case
when cancer cells occupy the human bone marrow themselves
hemoblastosis is also called leukemia.
Лейкоз характерен тем, что во время заболевания
there is a transformation of a particular type of cells into malignant ones.
At the same time, cancer cells begin very rapidly.
spread as well as they replace completely normal cells
blood and bone marrow. It will also depend on what
it was the blood cells that were turned into cancer. So you can
select several types of leukemia: impaired normal maturation
leukocyte and lymphocyte defect.
In addition, all leukemias are divided into chronic and acute.
Acute leukemia can cause almost uncontrolled growth
still immature blood cells. But with chronic leukemia
in almost all organs the level of mature
cells. It should be noted that acute leukemia develops in
more severe form so that such a disease requires
immediate treatment. Fortunately, leukemia is not very
common oncological disease. In accordance with
data specialists in the year of the whole disease twenty-five people

happens in young children, from three to four years, as well as in more
older people are sixty to sixty nine years old.

The following causes of mutations in the chromosomes are quite possible.
