What is infant Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (infant ALL)?
What is Cancer? Cancer develops when cells in part of the body begin to grow out-of-control. Normal body cells grow, divide and die in an orderly fashion. Because cancer cells grow and divide in an out-of-control fashion, they outlive normal cells and continue to form abnormal cells. Leukemia Leukemia is a malignant cancer of the bone marrow and blood. It is characterized by the uncontrolled accumulation of blood cells. Leukemia is divided into four categories: myelogenous or lymphocytic, each of which can be acute or chronic. The terms myelogenous or lymphocytic denote the cell type involved.
