Abbreviated AML. Also called acute myeloid leukemia or acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL). A quickly progressive malignant cancer that grows from cells within bone marrow those normally turn into white blood cells, the granulocytes or monocytes. The result is too many immature white cells. In AML, these blasts do not mature and so become too nume [..]

Form of Leukemia characterized by an uncontrolled proliferation of the myeloid lineage and their precursors (Myeloid Progenitor Cells) in the Bone Marrow and other sites.

Clonal expansion of myeloid blasts in Bone Marrow, Blood, and other Tissue. Myeloid Leukemias develop from changes in Cells that normally produce Neutrophils; Basophils; Eosinophils; and Monocytes.

The phase of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia following the chronic phase (Leukemia, Myeloid, Chronic-Phase), where there are increased systemic symptoms, worsening cytopenias, and refractory Leukocytosis.

The initial phase of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia consisting of an relatively indolent period lasting from 4 to 7 years. Patients range from asymptomatic to those exhibiting Anemia; Splenomegaly; and incr [..]

A myelodysplastic/Myeloproliferative Disorder characterized by myelodysplasia associated with Bone Marrow and peripheral Blood patterns similar to Chronic Myeloid Leukemia, but cytoGenetically lacking [..]

Clonal hematopoetic disorder caused by an acquired genetic defect in Pluripotent Stem Cells. It starts in Myeloid Cells of the Bone Marrow, invades the Blood and then other organs. The condition progr [..]

Leukemia that develops in the myeloid cell lines.
