What is another word for Acute Myelocytic Leukemia?
Pronunciation: [ɐkjˈuːt mˌa͡ɪɪləsˈɪtɪk luːkˈiːmi͡ə] (IPA) 
Acute Myelocytic Leukemia (AML) is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow, characterized by an overproduction of immature blood cells. There are several synonyms for AML, including Acute Myeloid Leukemia, Acute Non-Lymphocytic Leukemia, and Acute Myelogenous Leukemia. The term "acute" indicates the rapidly progressive nature of the disease, while "myelocytic" or "myeloid" indicates the origin of the cancerous cells in the bone marrow. Although AML is a serious and life-threatening condition, advances in medical treatment have improved the survival rates and quality of life for patients diagnosed with this disease. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for a better prognosis.
