Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia
Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia (AML) is a type of cancer that begins in the bone marrow, the soft inner part of the bones where blood cells are made. It is a form of leukemia, which is a cancer of the white blood cells. AML is an aggressive cancer, meaning it can spread quickly and be difficult to treat. Common symptoms of AML include fatigue, fever, bruising, and bleeding. Treatment for AML typically involves chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and/or bone marrow transplant. AML is a serious condition, and early diagnosis is key for successful treatment. Despite advances in treatments, AML can still be life-threatening, but prompt treatment is essential for improving survival rates. With early detection and current treatments, many people with AML can live for years after diagnosis.
