LEUCEMIE CHRONIQUE [6 records]

CONT

In chronic leukemia, the cells can mature partly but not completely. These cells may look fairly normal, but they generally do not fight infection as well as normal white blood cells do. They also live longer, build up, and crowd out normal cells. Chronic leukemias tend to progress over a longer period of time, and most people can live for many years. But chronic leukemias are generally harder to cure than acute leukemias.

Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is a type of cancer that starts in blood-forming cells of the bone marrow and invades the blood.

CONT

Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is a myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative disease. This means that it has characteristics of both myelodysplastic syndromes and myeloproliferative disorders. ... CMML is a disease in which too many stem cells in the bone marrow develop into 2 types of white blood cells, called monocytes and myelocytes. Some of the cells do not develop into mature white blood cells. The immature cells are called blasts. Gradually the blasts, monocytes and myelocytes crowd out the red blood cells and platelets in the bone marrow.

La leucémie myélomonocytaire chronique (LMMC) est une maladie myélodysplasique/myéloproliférative. Cela signifie qu'elle possède des caractéristiques des syndromes myélodysplasiques et des syndromes myéloprolifératifs. [...] La LMMC est une maladie caractérisée par le développement dans la moelle osseuse d'un trop grand nombre de cellules souches en 2 types de globules blancs, soit les monocytes et les myélocytes. Certaines de ces cellules ne se développent pas en globules blancs matures. Ces cellules immatures sont appelées blastes. Les blastes, monocytes et myélocytes prennent graduellement la place des globules rouges et des plaquettes dans la moelle osseuse.
