Answers:
AML is a cancer that starts in cells that would normally develop into different types of blood cells!. Most cases of AML develop from cells that would turn into white blood cells (other than lymphocytes), but some cases of AML develop in other types of blood-forming cells!. (Acute leukemia that develops in lymphocytes is called acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL)!. For more information on this type of leukemia, see the American Cancer Society document, Leukemia--Acute Lymphocytic!.)
AML starts in the bone marrow (the soft inner part of the bones, where new blood cells are made), but in most cases it quickly moves into the blood!. It can sometimes spread to other parts of the body including the lymph nodes, liver, spleen, central nervous system (brain and spinal cord), and testes!.
Other types of cancer can start in these organs and then spread to the bone marrow!. But these cancers that start elsewhere and then spread to the bone marrow are not leukemia!.
