ALL/AML

AML affects various white blood cells including granulocytes, monocytes and platelets
Leukemic cells accumulate in the bone marrow, replace normal blood cells and spread to the liver, spleen, lymph nodes, central nervous system, kidneys and gonads
ALL is a cancer of immature lymphocytes, called lymphoblasts (sometimes called as blast cells). Normally, white blood cells repair and reproduce themselves in an orderly and controlled manner but in leukemia the process gets out of control and the cells continue to divide, but do not mature
ALL is further divided into two subcategories viz., T-lineage ALL and B-lineage ALL
