Leukaemia is the general name given to a group of cancers that develop in the bone marrow. Leukaemia originates in developing blood cells that have undergone a malignant change. This means that they multiply in an uncontrolled way and do not mature properly, leaving them unable to function as they should.
Disease-specific Guides to Best Cancer Care have been developed for the following diseases. The guides help people with cancer to understand the optimal cancer care they should be provided and support people to understand what might happen at each step of their cancer experience and consider what questions to ask.
