#leukemia__leukaemia__cancer_of_the_blood malignant neoplasm of blood-forming tissues; characterized by abnormal proliferation of leukocytes; one of the four major types of cancer
supertype: cancer__malignant_neoplastic_disease any malignant growth or tumor caused by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division; it may spread to other parts of the body through the lymphatic system or the blood stream
subtype: acute_leukemia__acuteleukemia rapidly progressing leukemia
subtype: acute_lymphocytic_leukemia__acutelymphocyticleukemia__acute_lymphoblastic_leukemia__acutelymphoblasticleukemia acute leukemia characterized by proliferation of immature lymphoblast-like cells in bone marrow, lymph nodes, spleen, and blood; most common in children
subtype: acute_myelocytic_leukemia__acute_myeloid_leukemia__acutemyeloidleukemia acute leukemia characterized by proliferation of granular leukocytes; most common in adolescents and young adults
subtype: chronic_leukemia__chronicleukemia slowly progressing leukemia
subtype: chronic_lymphocytic_leukemia__chroniclymphocyticleukemia chronic leukemia characterized by lymphoblast-like cells; more common in older men
subtype: chronic_myelocytic_leukemia__myeloid_leukemia__myeloidleukemia chronic leukemia characterized by granular leukocytes; more common in older people
subtype: lymphocytic_leukemia__lymphocyticleukemia leukemia characterized by enlargement of lymphoid tissues and lymphocytic cells in the circulating blood
subtype: lymphoblastic_leukemia__lymphoblasticleukemia a form of lymphocytic leukemia in which the abnormal cells in the circulating blood are almost totally lymphoblasts

subtype: myeloblastic_leukemia a malignant neoplasm of blood-forming tissues; characterized by numerous myeloblasts in the blood stream
subtype: myelocytic_leukemia__granulocytic_leukemia a malignant neoplasm of blood-forming tissues; marked by proliferation of myelocytes and their presence in the blood
subtype: acute_myelocytic_leukemia__acute_myeloid_leukemia__acutemyeloidleukemia acute leukemia characterized by proliferation of granular leukocytes; most common in adolescents and young adults
subtype: chronic_myelocytic_leukemia__myeloid_leukemia__myeloidleukemia chronic leukemia characterized by granular leukocytes; more common in older people
