LEUKIMIA NEW CASES

Posted by BERITA ARTIS

An estimated 48,610 new cases of leukemia are expected in 2013. Leukemia is a cancer of the bone marrow and blood and is classified into four main groups according to cell type and rate of growth: acute lymphocytic (ALL), chronic lymphocytic (CLL), acute myeloid (AML), and chronic myeloid (CML). Almost 90% of leukemia cases are diagnosed in adults 20 years of age and older, among whom the most common types are CLL (38%) and AML (30%). Among children and teens, ALL is most common, accounting for 75% of leukemia cases (see Childhood Cancer). From 2005 to 2009, overall leukemia incidence rates increased slightly by 0.4% per year.source: American Cancer Society. Cancer Facts & Figures 2013. Atlanta: American Cancer Society; 2013.
