Types of cancer Your healthcare team Treatment ... Key evidence-based links What is leukemia? Leukemia is a cancer that starts in the white blood cells (also called WBCs or leukocytes). Blood consists of several types of cells (white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets) carried in a fluid called plasma. White blood cells help prevent and fight infection by destroying bacteria, viruses and other foreign cells. Red blood cells (called RBCs or erythrocytes) carry oxygen to all parts of the body. Platelets help control bleeding after an injury. The cells that form blood (stem cells) are produced in the bone marrow, as well as in the spleen, the lymph nodes and other organs. The type of leukemia you have depends on the type of white blood cell that is involved (lymphoid or myeloid) and whether it is developing slowly (chronic) or rapidly (acute). The most common leukemias are: Each type of leukemia behaves differently and needs to be treated differently.

National Cancer Institute Dictionary Leukemia Treatment at the SCCA Leukemia Relevant Programs Survivorship Program Descriptions of Leukemias Leukemia describes a group of cancers of the blood that are categorized by how quickly the disease develops and worsens, and by the type of blood cell affected. Fast-growing leukemias are called acute and slow-growing leukemias are called chronic. In acute leukemia, abnormal blood cells, called blasts, remain immature and cannot carry out their normal functions. The number of blasts rapidly increases, and the disease quickly worsens. In chronic leukemia, some blast cells are present, but in general, these cells are more mature and can carry out some of their normal functions. Also, the number of blasts increases more slowly than in acute leukemia. As a result, chronic leukemia more gradually gets worse. The four most common types of leukemia include: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common type of leukemia in young children. This disease also affects adults, especially those ages 65 and older.
Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) An information sheet about Feline leukemia Virus, a virus which can be responsible for certain types of cancer in cats. http://www.vet.cornell.edu/fhc/brochures/felv.html
Extractions: Feline leukemia virus (FeLV), a retrovirus, so named because of the way it behaves within infected cells. All retroviruses, including feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), produce an enzyme, reverse transcriptase, which permits them to insert copies of their own genetic material into that of the cells they have infected. Although related, FeLV and FIV differ in many ways, including their shape: FeLV is more circular while FIV is elongated. The two viruses are also quite different genetically, and their protein consituents are dissimlar in size and composition. Although many of the diseases caused by FeLV and FIV are similar, the specific ways in which they are caused differs. How common is the infection? Cats at greatest risk of infection are those that may be exposed to infected cats, either via prolonged close contact or through bite wounds. Such cats include: Cats living with infected cats or with cats of unknown infection status Cats allowed outdoors unsupervised, where they may be bitten by an infected cat
