Main description:

Understanding Leukemia, Second Edition, provides essential information on leukemia in a highly illustrated, easy-to-understand manner. The second edition has been extensively revised, bringing it up to date with current guidelines. The chart briefly describes causes and risk factors, lists signs and symptoms for each type of leukemia, provides details on treatment options for each of the four types, and indicates the age of the population that is most affected by the disease. New illustrations, an improved patient teaching approach, and updated text make this handy chart even more useful as an educational tool.
