C92.7: Other myeloid leukaemia
Other myeloid leukaemia is a rare type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. The term "myeloid" refers to the type of cells that the cancer starts from, which are white blood cells called myeloid cells. These cells are found in the bone marrow, where they produce other types of blood cells. In other myeloid leukaemia, these cells grow and multiply uncontrollably, leading to an excess of white blood cells in the body. This can then interfere with the production and function of other blood cells. People with other myeloid leukaemia may experience symptoms such as fatigue, fever, weight loss and frequent infections, among others. The cause of other myeloid leukaemia is not well understood, but it is thought to be related to genetic changes. This condition can vary in severity and progression, and it often requires aggressive treatment due to its potential to progress rapidly.
