Chronic leukemia often goes undetected for many years and maybe identified in a routine blood test. In fact, nearly one in five leukemia patients don't report symptoms at the time of diagnosis. Most symptoms of acute leukemia are caused by low levels of normal blood cells, which is due to overcrowding of the blood-forming bone marrow by leukemia calls.
