Other leukaemia of unspecified cell type - what does this mean

Other leukaemia of unspecified cell type is a type of cancer that affects the production of white blood cells in the bone marrow. it is caused by an abnormal production of immature white blood cells that are unable to fight infection, leading to an increased risk of infection and other complications.

What happens during the disease - other leukaemia of unspecified cell type

Other leukaemia of unspecified cell type is a type of cancer of the blood cells that is characterized by an abnormal increase in the number of white blood cells in the bone marrow and the lymphatic system. it is caused by a genetic mutation in the stem cells of the bone marrow, which results in an overproduction of the white blood cells. this causes an imbalance in the production of other blood cells, leading to anemia, fatigue, and other symptoms.
