Myeloid leukaemia, unspecified - what does this mean

Myeloid leukaemia, unspecified, is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. it is caused by an abnormal proliferation of myeloid cells, which are white blood cells that normally help fight infection. this results in an increased number of immature, abnormal white blood cells in the bone marrow, which can eventually crowd out normal blood cells and lead to anaemia, infections, and other serious problems.

What happens during the disease - myeloid leukaemia, unspecified

Myeloid leukaemia is a type of cancer that arises from an acquired genetic mutation in the bone marrow that affects the production of the myeloid line of blood cells. this mutation causes an overproduction of immature myeloid cells, which can eventually crowd out healthy blood cells and interfere with their normal functioning. the exact cause of this mutation is unknown, but it is thought to be due to a combination of environmental and genetic factors.
