What is another word for acute myeloid leukemia?
Pronunciation: [ɐkjˈuːt mˈa͡ɪɪlˌɔ͡ɪd luːkˈiːmi͡ə] (IPA) 
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. There are several synonyms for this disease, including acute myelogenous leukemia, acute myelocytic leukemia, acute non-lymphocytic leukemia, and acute myeloblastic leukemia. AML is characterized by the rapid growth of abnormal white blood cells that do not function properly, leading to a decrease in healthy blood cells and an increased risk of infections, bleeding, and other complications. Treatment for AML typically involves chemotherapy, radiation therapy, bone marrow transplant, or a combination of these treatments. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are crucial for better chances of survival and improved quality of life.
