Specialized leukemia consultation for diagnosis review, blood tests, bone marrow evaluation, chemotherapy guidance, and long-term monitoring.
Understanding Leukemia
Leukemia is a blood cancer that affects blood and bone marrow. It may be acute or chronic and needs accurate diagnosis.
Patients may present with fever, fatigue, infections, bleeding, bruising, low hemoglobin, low platelets, or abnormal blood counts.
CBC changes should not be ignored. Proper blood and bone marrow evaluation helps confirm leukemia type.
