What is Leukemia?

Leukemia is a malignant disease in which the body produces large numbers of abnormal white blood cells. These abnormal blood cells accumulate in the bone marrow, the blood stream, and the lymph system, where they crowd out healthy cells and interfere with the normal functions of the blood.

• Leukemia is the most common cause of death by disease
  among young people ages 1 to 24.
• An estimated 30,200 new cases of leukemia were
