| | Leukemia - oncologychannel |
 | | Leukemia is a form of cancer that begins in the blood-forming cells of the bone marrow - the soft, inner part of the bones. | | | Chronic leukemia, like many other cancers, is a "disease of old age." The average age of individuals with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is roughly 70 years, and the average age of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) patients is 40 to 50 years. | | | In this way, the behavior of leukemia is different than that of other cancers, which usually begin in major organs and ultimately spread to the bone marrow. |

| | These tests help doctors determine the subcategory of leukemia, which, in turn, may affect a patient’s prognosis and the approach to treatment. | | | In a bone marrow biopsy, cells are collected through a hollow needle inserted into the outer edge of a hipbone, or a small cylinder of bone containing marrow is removed with a special needle. | | | Chronic lymphocytic leukemia occurs rarely before the age of 45 and increases in incidence with each succeeding decade. |

| | Childhood Cancer: Leukemia |
| | As your child is treated for leukemia, your child's cancer treatment team will monitor the child closely for those side effects. | | | To decrease the chance that leukemia will invade the child's central nervous system, patients receive intrathecal chemotherapy, the administration of cancer-killing drugs into the cerebrospinal fluid around the brain and spinal cord. | | | This will show whether the leukemia has spread to the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). |

| | Whereas acute leukemia must be treated immediately, chronic forms are sometimes monitored for some time before treatment to ensure maximum effectiveness of therapy. | | | Chronic leukemia mostly occurs in older people, but can theoretically occur in any age group. | | | Leukemia is clinically and pathologically split in to its acute and chronic forms. |
