	Adult Acute Myeloid Leukemia at Fox Chase Cancer Center
		Adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a type of cancer in which the bone marrow makes abnormal myeloblasts (a type of white blood cell), red blood cells, or platelets.
		Leukemia cells are unable to do their usual work and can build up in the bone marrow and blood so there is less room for healthy white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets.
		In adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML), the subtype of AML and whether the leukemia has spread outside the blood and bone marrow are used instead of the stage to plan treatment.

	Learn about Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML) leukemia blood cancer
		Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) is a malignancy that arises in either granulocytes or monocytes which are white blood cells that battle infectious agents throughout the body.
		Acute myelogenous leukemia is the most common type of leukemia in adults, with an estimated 10,100 new cases of AML reported each year.

	Diagnosing and treating childhood leukemia : Oncology - Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
		Leukemia is a cancer of the bone marrow and blood and is the most common type of childhood cancer.
		In acute monoblastic leukemia, the leukemia cell, the monoblast, is the precursor of the monocyte, another type of infection-fighting white blood cell.
		Leukemia cells often collect in the nodes, causing swelling. Swelling occurs in lymph nodes under the arms, in the groin, chest and in the neck. Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish the lymph nodes of leukemia from those that are a normal part of the body’s response to infection or allergy.

	Acute myeloid leukemia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), also known as acute myeloid leukemia, is a cancer of the myeloid line of blood cells.
		Acute leukemias of ambiguous lineage (also known as mixed phenotype acute leukemia) occur when the leukemic cells can not be classified as either myeloid or lymphoid cells or where both types of cells are present.
		Because acute promyelocytic leukemia has the highest curability and has a unique form of treatment, it is important to establish or exclude the diagnosis of this subtype of leukemia.

	Leukemia
		Leukemia is a cancer of the blood and develops in the bone marrow, the body tissue that produces blood cells.
		In chronic leukemia, the bone marrow is able to produce a good number of normal cells as well as leukemic cells so that, compared to acute leukemia, the actual disease course is milder for a period of time.
		In any acute leukemia, it is necessary to determine which type of white blood cell has become leukemic, because treatment and response to it are different for each kind.

	Leukemia
		Leukemia: a progressive, malignant disease of the blood forming organs, marked by distorted proliferation (the reproduction or multiplication of similar forms, especially cells) and development of leukocytes (WBC) and their precursors (something that precedes) in the blood and bone marrow.
		Acute leukemia is most common in children, and ranks 20th as a cause of cancer related deaths among people of all age groups.
		Untreated, acute leukemia invariably leads to death, usually the result of complications that result from leukemic cell infiltration of bone marrow or vital organs.

	Leukemia
		Leukemia is a cancer of blood-forming cells in the bone marrow.
		In the acute lymphocytic leukemias, growth is not as rapid as that of the myelocytic cells.
		Approximately 85% of leukemias in children are of the acute type.

	Acute myelogenous leukemia - MayoClinic.com
		Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) is a cancer of the blood and bone marrow — the spongy tissue inside bones where blood cells are made.
		It's called myelogenous (MI-uh-loj-uh-nus) leukemia because it affects a group of white blood cells called the myeloid cells, which normally develop into the various types of mature blood cells, such as red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.
		This type of leukemia is also known as acute myeloid leukemia, acute myeloblastic leukemia, acute granulocytic leukemia and acute nonlymphocytic leukemia.

	Research Report Leukemia
		It is classified as lymphocytic or myeloid, according to the type of cell that is multiplying abnormally, and either acute, signifying rapidly progressing disease with a predominance of highly immature (blastic) cells, or chronic, which denotes slowly progressing disease with greater numbers of more mature cells.
		Acute leukemias seem to arise when the normal process of cell maturation (also called differentiation) is interrupted at a very early (blast) stage of a cell's life.
		Acute leukemia may be suspected if a blood test shows a low hemoglobin count, a low level of normal white blood cells, a low level of platelets, or the presence of leukemic blasts.

	Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML) Information - Leukine.com
		Leukemia is a cancer of the cells of the blood and blood-forming tissue such as bone marrow.
		In patients with leukemia, some blood-forming — or hematopoietic — cells of the bone marrow are damaged and remain in an abnormal or immature form.
		When leukemia develops in the lymphoid cell line, it is called lymphocytic leukemia; when the myeloid cell line is affected, this is known as myelogenous leukemia.
