- Key Points. 1  Adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a type of cancer in which the bone marrow makes too many lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell). 2  Leukemia may affect red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. 3  Previous chemotherapy and exposure to radiation may increase the risk of developing ALL.

- Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a type of blood cancer. AML usually develops from cells that would turn into white blood cells (other than lymphocytes). Sometimes, though, it can develop from other types of blood-forming cells.

Adult Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Treatment (PDQÂ®)âPatient Version Adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a type of cancer in which the bone marrow makes too many lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell). Adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL; also called acute lymphocytic leukemia) is a cancer of the blood and bone marrow. This type of cancer usually gets worse quickly if it is not treated.

About leukemia ALL affects the lymphocytic type of white blood cells. acute myeloid leukemia (AML). AML occurs in both adults and children and is sometimes called acute non-lymphocytic leukemia. AML affects the myeloid (also known as nonlymphocytic) type of white blood cells, the red blood cells and the cells that make platelets. chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). CLL most commonly affects adults over age 55 and rarely occurs in children. CLL affects the lymphocytic type of white blood cells. chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). CML occurs mainly in adults, but a small number of children also get this form of leukemia. CML affects the myeloid (also known as nonlymphocytic) type of white blood cells, the red blood cells and the cells that make platelets.

Leukemia Different types of leukemia are described according to how quickly the disease develops and what type of blood cell is affected: 1  Acute (a-KUTE) leukemia gets worse quickly, with fast multiplication of abnormal, immature blasts.  Chronic (KRON-ik) leukemia worsens gradually.

Adult Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Treatment (PDQÂ®)âPatient Version In leukemia, cancerous blood cells form and crowd out the healthy blood cells in the bone marrow.The type of leukemia depends on the type of blood cell that has become cancerous. For example, acute lymphoblastic leukemia is a cancer of the lymphoblasts (white blood cells that fight infection).

Leukemia Lymphatic and myelogenous leukemias are the most common. However, cancers of other types of bone marrow cells can develop. Megakaryocytic leukemia arises from megakaryocytes, cells that form platelets. (Platelets help blood to clot.) Another rare form of leukemia is erythroleukemia.

- 1 Research Paradigm This section should be included in your proposal when you expect to have readers who are not familiar with the naturalistic research paradigm. 2  It may not be necessary in contexts where qualitative research is an accepted form of inquiry.hese researchers try to be clear about their biases, presuppositions, and interpretations so that others (the stakeholders) can decide what they think about it all. Unlike conventional, positivist research, there is no single accepted outline for a qualitative research proposal or report (Morse, 1991).
