About Leukaemia in New Delhi

Leukaemia is a cancer of the blood-forming tissues, including the bone marrow and lymphatic system, in which abnormal white blood cells multiply uncontrollably and crowd out healthy blood cells. This disrupts the body's ability to produce normal red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, impairing oxygen transport, immune defense, and clotting. Leukaemia can be acute, progressing rapidly and requiring urgent treatment, or chronic, developing more slowly over months to years. It affects people of all ages, with certain subtypes more common in children and others in older adults.
