GlossaryAcute Myeloid Leukemia

cancer of the bone marrow causing rapid abnormal white blood cells

Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a type of cancer that starts in the bone marrow—the soft inner part of bones where new blood cells are made—but often quickly moves into the blood. It is characterized by the rapid growth of abnormal white blood cells that accumulate in the bone marrow and interfere with the production of normal blood cells. This can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, frequent infections, and easy bruising or bleeding.
