Acute Myelogenous Leukemia

Acute granulocytic leukemia is a type of blood cancer that affects the cells responsible for producing certain white blood cells in the bone marrow, altering the way the body forms its blood cells.

Common symptoms: It may present with significant fatigue, paleness, fever, repeated infections, and bruising or bleeding that appears easily.

Why seek care? Because it is a blood disease, it requires specialized tests that only a professional can interpret properly.

Which specialist treats it? The hematologist is the one who studies and follows up on this condition, and in certain situations the radiation oncologist takes part within the care team. If you notice persistent, unexplained symptoms, the prudent thing is to seek a medical evaluation soon.
