Other monocytic leukaemia - what does this mean

Other monocytic leukaemia is a type of cancer that is caused by an abnormal increase in the number of monocytes, a type of white blood cell, in the blood. it is usually caused by a genetic mutation that leads to the uncontrolled production of these cells. treatment usually involves chemotherapy and other medications to reduce the number of monocytes in the blood.

What happens during the disease - other monocytic leukaemia

Other monocytic leukaemia is a type of cancer that originates in the myeloid cells of the bone marrow. it is characterized by an abnormal proliferation of monocytes, a type of white blood cell. the cause of this proliferation is unknown, but it is thought to be the result of genetic mutations that lead to an overproduction of monocytes and an inability to regulate their growth. this leads to an accumulation of monocytes in the bone marrow, which can eventually spread to other parts of the body and cause serious health problems.
