Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. It occurs when the body produces too many immature white blood cells, known as myeloid cells, which crowd out healthy blood cells. This can lead to symptoms like fatigue, frequent infections, and easy bruising or bleeding. AML progresses quickly, making early diagnosis and treatment crucial. Treatment for AML often involves chemotherapy, which uses powerful drugs to kill cancer cells. In some cases, a stem cell transplant may be necessary to restore healthy blood cell production. With advancements in research, new therapies are continually being developed to improve outcomes for patients.
