A member asked:
How does leukemia metastasize?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It doesn't: Leukemia is a disease that affects the bone marrow and, thus, the blood. Since the bone marrow is in most bones and the malignant cells are in the blood, it doesn't really move from organ to organ like breast cancer. It, like some lymphomas can occur anywhere.
