Leukaemia

Know Your Treatment
Leukaemia is a type of cancer that originates in the blood and bone marrow, where blood cells are produced. It primarily affects white blood cells, which are responsible for fighting infection. In leukaemia, the bone marrow produces abnormal white blood cells that don’t function properly. These abnormal cells can crowd out normal cells, leading to problems with blood clotting, infection control, and oxygen transport.
