Leukemia is a cancer arising in the body's blood-forming tissues.

The blood-forming tissues are destroyed, you see, by the loss of body salts in the fluids.

This causes the blood-forming tissues to make fewer and fewer blood cells.

Leukemia is a group of cancers of the blood-forming tissues and cells.

The virus causes some adult leukemias and lymphomas, cancers of the blood-forming tissues.

Leukemia is a cancer of the blood-forming tissue, notably bone marrow, and has long been associated with radiation exposure.

The web of fibers inside the bone marrow also becomes very thick (like scar tissue) and slows the blood-forming tissue's ability to make blood cells.

For example, myeloid leukemia is leukemia that arises from abnormal growth in the blood-forming tissue of the bone marrow.

See your doctor if...unexplained bruises appear suddenly, which may be an early sign of a blood disorder such as leukemia (cancer of the blood-forming tissues).

Leukemia - cancer that starts in blood-forming tissue such as the bone marrow and causes large numbers of abnormal blood cells to be produced and enter the blood.

The bone marrow is made of tissues that make bloodcells (red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets) and a web of fibers that support the blood-forming tissues.

The strontiums (Strontium-90 and strontium-89) are more radiotoxic as they are calcium mimics with long biological half lives, the strontium tends to deposit in bone and blood-forming tissue (bone marrow).

As Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome is primarily a disorder of the blood-forming tissues, a hematopoietic stem cell transplant, accomplished through a cord blood or bone marrow transplant offers the only current hope of cure.

The AIDS virus is one of a group of retroviruses, at least one of which, HTLV-1, causes some cases of human leukemia and lymphoma, cancers of the blood-forming tissues.

Who Can Be Helped Bone marrow transplants, even from unrelated donors, can potentially cure children and adults with various cancers of the blood-forming tissues (leukemias and lymphomas), aplastic anemia, inborn immunological deficiency diseases and certain other inherited disorders.
