Answer 1

Acute leukemia is characterized by the rapid increase of immature blood cells. This crowding makes the bone marrow unable to produce healthy blood cells. Acute forms of leukemia can occur in children and young adults. (In fact, it is a more common cause of death for children in the US than any other type of malignant disease). Immediate treatment is required in acute leukemias due to the rapid progression and accumulation of the malignant cells, which then spill over into the bloodstream and spread to other organs of the body. Central nervous system (CNS) involvement is uncommon, although the disease can occasionally cause cranial nerve palsies.

Hope everything works out.

Answer 4

It is cancer of the early blood-forming cells. Most often, the leukemia is a cancer of the white blood cells, but leukemia sometimes involves other blood cell types as well.

Leukemia starts in the bone marrow and spreads to the blood. From there it can go to the spleen, lymph nodes, the brain and spinal cord, liver, testes (testicles), or other organs.

Once leukemia is diagnosed, tests are done to determine if the cancer has spread beyond the blood and bone marrow.

The progression varies from case to case.
