Leukemia hits about 10 times more children than adults. The
ACS or American Cancer Society calculates that this year, approximately 30
thousand new cases of leukemia of 2 thousand children and about 27 thousand adults
in the U.S. will be diagnosed.
Leukemia, a type of cancer, starts in the inner, soft portion of your blood-forming cell bones, known as bone marrows. This happens when excessive growth of white blood cells is present in your blood, referred to as leukocytes.
Under normal conditions, the blood-forming or hematopoietic cells in your bone marrow produce leukocytes in order to protect your body from infection caused by bacteria and viruses.
