Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Leukemia, a malignancy impacting the blood and hematopoietic organs—including the bone marrow, lymph nodes, and spleen—is characterized by an aberrant proliferation of immature or partially mature white blood cells within the bone marrow. This condition is broadly categorized into four principal types: acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), and chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML).
In recent years, rapid progress has been made in researching the biological mechanisms behind leukemia and its treatment strategies. Not only has the development of new treatment methods significantly improved survival rates for patients, it has also greatly improved their quality of life. Therefore, this Special Issue will bring together the latest research results and important discoveries from scholars in the field of leukemia and provide valuable guidance for the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of leukemia.
