What is Leukemia?

Leukemia is a cancer of blood-forming tissues, including the bone marrow and lymphatic system. It causes the body to produce abnormal white blood cells that hinder the production of healthy blood cells. These abnormal cells crowd out the normal ones, leading to infections, anemia, and bleeding issues. Leukemia can be acute (fast-growing) or chronic (slow-developing) and may affect children and adults alike. Early symptoms might be mild but can progress rapidly. Prompt medical care is essential to manage the disease effectively and improve survival outcomes.

Causes of Leukemia

Leukemia does not always have a clear cause, but several factors may increase the risk. Genetic mutations in the DNA of blood cells may trigger uncontrolled cell growth. Exposure to high levels of radiation or certain chemicals like benzene is also linked to leukemia. People with genetic disorders such as Down syndrome or those with a family history of blood cancer are more susceptible. Previous cancer treatments like chemotherapy or radiation therapy can also raise the risk. However, having one or more risk factors does not guarantee the development of leukemia.

Diagnosis of Leukemia

Leukemia diagnosis usually starts with a physical exam and medical history review. Blood tests such as a Complete Blood Count (CBC) often reveal abnormal white blood cell counts or low red blood cell and platelet levels. A bone marrow biopsy is typically required to confirm the presence of leukemia cells and identify the specific type of leukemia. Genetic testing may also be used to detect chromosomal abnormalities. Advanced imaging techniques, such as CT scans or MRIs, may help assess the spread of the disease. Early and accurate diagnosis improves treatment planning significantly.

What is the Symptoms of Leukemia

Symptoms of leukemia can vary based on the type and stage but commonly include persistent fatigue, frequent infections, and easy bruising or bleeding. Other signs include fever, night sweats, unintentional weight loss, and swollen lymph nodes. Some individuals may experience bone or joint pain due to marrow involvement. Shortness of breath and paleness from anemia can also occur. Because symptoms can mimic those of common illnesses, leukemia often goes undetected in the early stages. Persistent or worsening symptoms should prompt immediate medical consultation to rule out serious conditions like leukemia.

Treatment for Leukemia

Treatment for leukemia depends on the type, stage, and patient’s overall health. Common therapies include chemotherapy, targeted therapy, radiation therapy, and stem cell transplantation. Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells or stop their growth. Targeted therapies focus on specific abnormalities in leukemia cells. Radiation may be used to destroy cancer cells or prepare for stem cell transplants. Supportive care like antibiotics and blood transfusions helps manage side effects. Personalized treatment plans developed by hematology experts significantly improve recovery rates and quality of life during and after leukemia treatment.

When to See the Doctor?

See a doctor if you have fatigue, frequent infections, or unexplained bruising—they may indicate blood disorders.

1. Persistent fatigue

Ongoing tiredness not relieved by rest may indicate low red blood cells or abnormal blood production, common in leukemia.

2. Frequent infections

Repeated infections, especially respiratory or skin-related, suggest compromised immunity due to dysfunctional white blood cells linked to leukemia.

3. Easy bruising or bleeding

Frequent nosebleeds, bleeding gums, or unexplained bruises can signal low platelet count, a warning sign of leukemia.

4. Swollen lymph nodes

Painless lumps in the neck, underarms, or groin could reflect abnormal lymphatic activity, commonly associated with leukemia.

5. Unexplained weight loss

Sudden, unintended weight loss without dietary changes may indicate underlying cancer like leukemia or other systemic disorders.
