Overview
Acute Leukemia is a malignancy of bone marrow myeloid and lymphoblastic precursor cells, in which these poorly differentiated hematopoietic cells proliferate rapidly. Hence, their accumulation would disrupt the performance of bone marrow to produce normal blood cells
Causes
AML and ALL are life-threatening diseases, which would result in death if left untreated. In the majority of cases, etiology is not apparent.
Common Causes of AML
- Chromosomal translocations
- Gene mutations:FLT3,IDHI, IDH2,KRAS, DNMT3A, NPM1
- Benzene or radiation exposure chronically[1]
Common Causes of ALL
FIRE
A Focused Initial Rapid Evaluation (FIRE) should be performed to identify patients in need of immediate intervention.[5]
Boxes in red color signify that an urgent management is needed.
