Each year, nearly 27,000 adults and more than 2,000 children in the United States learn that they have leukemia. This National Cancer Institute (NCI) booklet describes the symptoms of leukemia and explains how this disease is diagnosed and treated. It also has information to help you deal with leukemia if it affects you or someone you know.
Definitions of words that may be new to readers and other terms related to cancer can be found in the Glossary. For some words, a "sounds-like" spelling is also given.
Our materials cannot answer every question you may have about leukemia. They cannot take the place of talks with doctors, nurses, and other members of the health care team. We hope our information will help with those talks.
Our knowledge about leukemia and how to treat it keeps increasing. For up-to-date information or to order this publication, call the NCI-supported Cancer Information Service (CIS) toll free at 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).
