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.
