What Does AML Stand For?
AML stands for Acute Myeloid Leukaemia
AML, or Acute Myeloid Leukaemia, is a fast-progressing hematological malignancy characterized by the uncontrolled proliferation of myeloid precursor cells in the bone marrow and blood. It results in an accumulation of immature white blood cells, impairing the production of normal blood cells and leading to symptoms such as anemia, infection, and bleeding. Diagnosis typically involves blood tests and bone marrow examination, and treatment options include chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and stem cell transplantation. Early detection and intervention are critical for improving patient outcomes.
