Acute myeloid leukaemia
In Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), myelocytes don’t grow properly in your bone marrow. They stay immature and faulty and are called blasts. AML is an acute type of leukaemia and gets worse very quickly if it is not treated. It is rare and most often occurs in people over 40 years old.
