D007938 Leukemia A progressive, malignant disease of the blood-forming organs, characterized by distorted proliferation and development of leukocytes and their precursors in the blood and bone marrow.

Acute leukemias consist of predominately immature cells; chronic leukemias are composed of more mature cells.
