Monocytic leukaemia - what does this mean
Monocytic leukaemia is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal production of monocytes, a type of white blood cell, in the bone marrow. this leads to an accumulation of immature monocytes in the blood, which can cause a range of symptoms including fatigue, fever, weight loss, and an enlarged spleen.
What happens during the disease - monocytic leukaemia
Monocytic leukaemia is a type of blood cancer caused by the abnormal growth of monocytes, a type of white blood cell. it is thought to be caused by a genetic mutation in the blood-forming stem cells of the bone marrow, resulting in the production of abnormal monocytes. these abnormal cells then accumulate in the bone marrow, preventing the production of healthy blood cells, leading to anaemia, infection and other serious health complications.
