mainly white blood cells. There is said to be two types of leukemia which are
the acute, meaning rapidly growing, and chronic, which stands for slowly
progressing. Most of the cases that target the youth are said to be acute
rather than chronic and it is the fourth most common cancer in children.
However, half of the cases are within people 60 or older. The cancer begins
in the bone marrow, which is the sponge tissue found in bones of the body,
and the lymph system which is a combination of then spleen, the thymus,
and the tonsils. It begins here because this is where the production of blood
lymphocytes. The B cell symptoms are more common than the T cell
because the T cells only affect 5% of all chronic leukemia patients. Since
chronic leukemia stays in the system for a longer time, it has time to
accumulate and grow in size so it looks much bigger than regular white blood
cells. Also, there is a big absence of granules, which contain special enzymes
undetected for a long time. In acute leukemia, it is also split in two which
B cell is more common than the T cell, but they are different too because
and tissues, affecting their function. It also affects how red blood cells are
leukemia until theyve been contracted with it for a great while. It attaches
onto the white blood cells and thrives upon it for a while until it greatly
breath, pain resulting in your spleen expanding, fatigue, night sweats, fever,
loss of weight, and infections. For those who have acute leukemia, it doesnt
take a long time to notice whether you have this or not. The symptoms for
this type of leukemia includes fever, bone pain, fatigue, shortness of breath,
huge role in the selection of whom may acquire any kind of leukemia and it
seems that its more common in males than females to get acute leukemia
and for chronic leukemia, it stays the same but it is more common in males
than females by a slight chance. White Americans are more probable than
African Americans to gain this also. It is not known why gender and
ethnicity plays a role but scientist have found this pattern through every
family members like parents, siblings, or children and they have more than
twice the risk of this factor. However, acute leukemia cannot be inherited
The patterns I see from the graphs and data tables are all very diverse
Leukemia had the highest number of prevalence cases meaning that that
was the disease that had affected the most. However, due to the death
rates, it looks as though that the Acute Myeloid had more than any other
which made it more fatal. The older the patients got, the more the cases
also spreads even wider in later aged patients. Also, the other thing that
caught my eye was in every single type of leukemia, at least 100 or 1,000
cells and depending on what kind of leukemia the individual may have, the
have one kind of drug or several. Another common way to treat this type of
damage leukemia cells and inhibit their growth, or stop it. Another option
could be stem cell transplantation which is where they replace the diseased
bone with a new healthy one from a donor or your own. The five-year relative
