Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML), also called acute myelogenous leukemia and acute nonlymphocytic leukemia, is a cancer of the blood and bone marrow. It is the most common type of acute leukemia in adults. AML progresses rapidly, with myeloid cells interfering with the production of normal white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets.
