The diagnosis of leukemia is usually determined by blood tests or though a bone marrow biopsy. A variety of factors may contribute to its incidence, among which are smoking, genetics, chemical exposure, etc. Leukemia is treated with a multi-drug chemotherapy regimen, pharmaceutical medication or with radiation therapy. A bone marrow transplant is also an important strategy to treat such a cancer. This book provides comprehensive insights into leukemia. It consists of contributions made by international experts.
