Are there any candidates running that can cure cancer?
My mom was diagnosed with Leukemia on Monday and began chemotherapy today.
About 11,920 new cases of acute myelogenous leukemia are diagnosed each year in the United States.
AML results from acquired (not inherited) genetic damage to the DNA of developing cells in the bone marrow. The effects are: 1) the uncontrolled, exaggerated growth and accumulation of cells called "leukemic blasts" which fail to function as normal blood cells and 2) the blockade of the production of normal marrow cells, leading to a deficiency of red cells (anemia), and platelets (thrombocytopenia) and normal white cells (especially neutrophils, i.e., neutropenia) in the blood.
Leukemia is a malignant disease (cancer) of the bone marrow and blood.
