What is the difference between AML and CML?

AML means Acute Myeloid Leukemia while CML stands for Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. CML is a type of condition that can take a long time to develop. In fact, there are some people who may have this condition, and they will not even realize that they have it. Some people may have it for years, but it may suddenly develop into AML.

When the condition already develops into AML, this means that immediate medical is required. A lot of people are saying that the different blast cells can be undifferentiated or mixed. You will usually see that some of the blast cells are larger. A doctor will be able to explain the differences between the cells when a diagnosis is being made.

Leukemia is a cancer of the blood when the cancerous blood cells form, they overrun the normal blood cells. This causes abnormality in the body in which the body is not able to carry out its normal functions like controlling bleeding, fighting infections, etc. AML is known as acute myeloid leukemia, it attacks the white blood cells in the bone marrow, and it is rare cancer. Acute myeloid leukemia causes abnormal growth of blood cells (white blood cells) in the bone marrow.

Acute cancer is fast-moving cancer which can become serious if not well taken care of. Chronic myeloid cancer (CML) is also slow-moving cancer which takes time to develop, there are three main stages involved in chronic myeloid cancer which are the chronic stage, accelerated stage, and the last stage is blast crisis. Symptoms of CML include frequent loss of appetite.
