Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is cancer of the blood and bone marrow - the soft tissue inside bones where blood cells are made.
The word "acute" in acute myeloid leukemia indicates the rapid progression of the disease. It's called myelogenous (MI-uh-uh-lie-Nus) leukemia because it affects a group of white blood cells called myeloid cells that normally develop into different types of mature blood cells such as red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.
Acute myeloid leukemia is also known as acute myeloid leukemia, acute myelogenous leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia and acute nonlymphocytic leukemia.
