Adult acute myeloid leukemia affects the body by disrupting the normal balance of blood cells in the body. Reduced levels of white blood cells, which normally defend the body from infection, can lead to higher chances of catching secondary diseases. Other symptoms of leukemia can include: 1 pain in the bones or joints, sometimes causing a limp. 2 swollen lymph nodes (sometimes called swollen glands) in the neck, groin, or elsewhere. 3 an abnormally tired feeling. 4 poor appetite. 5 fevers with no other symptoms. Drugs and other therapies can prevent or manage many side effects. Both cancer therapy and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) can sometimes produce side effects. For most patients, side effects are temporary and subside once the body adjusts to therapy or when therapy is completed. For other patients, side effects can be more severe, sometimes requiring hospitalization. Before you undergo treatment, talk with your doctor about potential side effects. Leukemias are cancers that start in cells that would normally develop into different types of blood cells. Here we will talk about acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has many other names, including acute myelocytic leukemia, acute myelogenous leukemia, acute granulocytic leukemia, and acute non-lymphocytic leukemia. "Acute" means that this leukemia can progress quickly if not treated, and would probably be fatal in a few months. In acute leukemia blood cells are very abnormal, increase rapidly and worsen quickly. In chronic leukemia the abnormal blood cells can still do their work early in the disease but slowly get worse. The four common types of leukemia are: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a type of blood cancer. It usually begins in cells that turn into white blood cells. Sometimes, though, AML can start in other types of blood-forming cells. Although there's no cure, there are treatments that can make a big difference. What Happens. Acute myeloid leukemia starts in the bone marrow. This is the soft inner parts of bones. With acute types of leukemia such as AML, bone marrow cells don't mature the way they're supposed to. These immature cells, often called blast cells, keep building up. You may hear other names for acute myeloid leukemia. Doctors may call it: Acute myelocytic leukemia Some long-term and late effects for blood cancer survivors can linger for months or years after therapy. Blood cancer survivors don't always have serious long-term or late effects of treatment. For those who do, some long-term effects, such as fatigue, can linger for months or years after therapy. Late effects, such as medical conditions like heart disease and other cancers, don't appear until years after treatment ends. Effects can range from mild to severe. Talk with your doctor about possible long-term and late effects. 1 Your risk for developing long-term or late effects can be influenced by your: 2 Treatment type and duration. 3 Age at the time of treatment. 4 Gender. 5 Overall health. Acute promyeloid leukaemia (APML) Acute promyeloid leukaemia (APML) is a subtype of the blood cancer acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), and usually has the best overall prognosis. Read More about: Acute promyeloid leukaemia (APML) Tweet Adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a type of cancer in which the bone marrow makes abnormal myeloblasts (a type of white blood cell), red blood cells, or platelets. Leukemia may affect red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. There are different subtypes of AML. Arber D, Brunning R, LeBeau M, et al.
