| Description |
The leukemias are a group of diseases characterized by the overproduction of abnormal leukocytic elements at their site of origin, with or without an increase of these cells in the circulating blood and infiltration of various viscera. The essential abnormality resides in the leukemic cell and consists of an inability of leukocyte progenitors to respond to the factors that normally regulate their proliferation and maturation. Leukemias thus clearly belong in the category of neoplastic diseases and may be considered a cancer of the hematopoietic system. |
