What is benign leukemia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No such condition!: Leukemia by definition is a name given to blood cancer. But there are at least 4 separate types of Leukemias, broadly classified as Acute Leukemias(a very serious disease requiring immediate treatment) and Chronic Leukemias(which are slowly growing Cancers and have a much better prognosis as people with Chronic leukemia can survive for many years...some of these patients are cured with medicines.
