Leukemia which is often regarded as blood cancer, is a type of cancer that starts in the blood-forming tissues, such as the bone marrow. In a healthy person, the bone marrow produces blood cells—white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets—in an orderly way.
In leukemia, the bone marrow produces a large number of abnormal white blood cells. These abnormal cells build up in the blood and bone marrow, crowding out the healthy blood cells and preventing them from performing their normal functions, which include fighting infection, carrying oxygen, and clotting blood.
