In leukaemia infected white blood cells (leukocytes) accumulate in the blood and in the bone marrow. The bone marrow gets overwhelmed by the infected cells and cannot produce healthy, normal cells.

Leukaemia is classified by the onset/progress/speed of the disease.

Chronic leukaemia:

- the onset and progress is slow,

- mainly affects adults,

- death occurs many years later.

Acute leukaemia:

- the onset and progress is abrupt,

- can affect any ages,

- death occurs rapidly if not treated.

Blast cells (the least differentiated, precursor stem cell), signifies the acute stage. (Chronic stage does not have blast cells in the peripheral blood).

What other areas of the body can leukemia spread?

Leukemia primarily affects the blood and bone marrow, but it can also spread to other areas of the body, including the lymph nodes, liver, spleen, and central nervous system. In advanced stages, leukemic cells may infiltrate various organs, leading to complications in their function. Additionally, leukemia can cause extramedullary manifestations, where cancerous cells appear in tissues outside the bone marrow. Early detection and treatment are crucial to managing the spread of the disease.
