EXTRACT: Leukaemia is a type of blood cancer, which starts in blood-forming tissue, such as the bone marrow, and causes large numbers of immature blood cells to be produced and enter the bloodstream. Leukaemia is subdivided into different subtypes according to cellular maturity (acute or chronic) and cell type (lymphocytic or myeloid). The mainstays of leukaemia treatment for adults have been chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and stem cell transplantation. There are different types of leukaemia that require different combinations of therapies. Although much progress has been made against some types of leukaemia, others still have relatively poor rates of survival. And, as the population ages, there is a greater need for treatment regimens that are less toxic.
