A member asked:
Could you tell me what happens when leukemia is in the blood?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most: Leukemias do. The first hint to the diagnosis starts with the CBC and review of the blood smear. This foundation sets the plan for further evaluation, potentially to include a bone marrow biopsy and aspiration to look at the production side.
