English
leukemiaterm type: main entry term
reliability code: 10
part of speech: noun
number: singular
definition: cancer of the bone marrow and lymphatics which affects the maturation process of red and white blood cells and platelets, in which the number of cells produced, the rate at which they are produced, and their ability to function are altered. The most common type of leukemia occurring in children is acute lymphocytic leukemia, accounting for 45%; it is most likely to occur in children aged 6 and younger. The second most common leukemia in children is acute nonlymphocytic leukemia. There is evidence that radiation can induce leukemia. It has also been found that leukemia occurs more often with certain congenital defects. The symptoms of leukemia may include fever and flu-like symptoms, enlarged lymph nodes, spleen, and liver, bone pain, joint pain, paleness, weakness; tendency to bleed or bruise easily, and frequent infections. Procedures used in the diagnosis and evaluation of leukemia may include blood tests and bone marrow biopsy. (en)

leucemiaterm type: main entry term
reliability code: 10
part of speech: noun
number: singular
gender: feminine
definition: cáncer de la médula espinal y del sistema linfático que afecta al proceso de maduración de hematíes, leucocitos y plaquetas, en el que se alteran el número de células creadas y el rendimiento. El tipo de leucemia más frecuente en niños es la leucemia linfocítica aguda, que representa el 45% de las leucemias y cuya incidencia es mayor en niños menores de 6 años. El segundo tipo de leucemia más frecuente en niños es la leucemia no linfocítica. Existen pruebas de que la exposición a radiaciones puede inducir al desarrollo de leucemia y se ha relacionado con determinadas anomalías congénitas. los síntomas de la leucemia comprenden fiebre y síntomas de gripe, inflamación de ganglios linfáticos, bazo e hígado, dolor de huesos y articulaciones, palidez, debilidad, hemorragias, hematomas e infecciones. Entre las técnicas diagnósticas destacan análisis de sangre y biopsia de la médula ósea. (es)
