Treatment Details

Acute Myeloid Leukemia Treatment

Overview

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a type of blood cancer that affects the blood cells as well as the bone marrow. It is the most frequent kind of acute leukemia in adults. The disease is characterized by the fast proliferation of immature white blood cells called leukemic blasts or myeloblasts. These cells accumulate in the bone marrow and interfere with the production of healthy blood cells.

If not treated, AML spreads quickly into the bloodstream and other organs such as the lymph nodes, liver, spleen, central nervous system, and testicles. Chemotherapy is the primary treatment in India, with stem cell transplants used in certain cases.

Other Names for AML:
Acute myelocytic leukemia
Acute myelogenous leukemia
Acute granulocytic leukemia
Acute nonlymphocytic leukemia
Acute promyelocytic leukemia
