Cancer is an abnormal and uncontrollable growth of any part of the body’s cells. Cancer of blood and bone marrow cells is called Leukemia. It is present in the bone marrow and invades the blood and slowly to the whole body. For the most part, leukemia usually involves White blood cells (WBC). White blood cells are a vital part of the body’s defense system; they protect from foreign antigens. Healthcare specialists don’t know the exact cause of leukemia, but some factors are present that may cause leukemia, i.e., radiations, chemicals, tobacco, etc., that increase the risk of leukemia. Treatment involves a combination of different therapies to eradicate the cancerous cells from the body.
