Leukimia


Blood consists of three types of cells and cell fragments floating in a liquid called plasma. These cellular components are:
  • Red Blood Cells ("erythrocytes," "RBCs") - oxygen-carrying cells
  • White Blood Cells ("leukocytes," "WBCs") - cells that help make up the body's immune system
  • Platelets ("thrombocytes") - fragments of cells that play an important role in formation of blood clots
The total number of white blood cells normally ranges from 4 million to 11 million cells per milliliter of blood.(1)Leukemias are a group of diseases characterized by increased numbers of white cells in the blood and bone marrow.(2)
In 2010, the American Cancer Society estimates that 43,050 new leukemia cases will be diagnosed and 21,840 people will die from the disease in the United States.(3)
