https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/leukemia/symptoms-causes/syc-20374373

Leukemia is cancer of the body's blood-forming tissues. There are many types of leukemia that exist. Some types of cancer occur more in children and others occurs in adults. Some common symptoms are fever or chills, weakness, bone pain, or easy bleeding and bruising. Scientists still don't know the main cause of leukemia. It is thought to occur when blood cells need a mutation in their DNA. Leukemia is classified by how fast it progresses and the type of white cells are affected.


Common treatment practices are chemotherapy, biological therapy, targeted therapy, radiation therapy, and stem cell transplants. The recovery rate for leukemia is now higher than 80%. The remission rate for leukemia is 90%. People can go to St. John's and St. Jude. They opened their own camps for kids with leukemia during the summer.
