The types of leukemia cancers or Blood Cancer are mainly of 4 types. This includes :
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) - This type of cancer starts in immature red blood cells, platelets and white blood cells (except lymphocytes). These cells grow and divide very quickly, leading to large number of abnormal blood cells.
Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML)- This type of cancer starts in mature blood cells except lymphocytes. It develops very gradually and symptoms take time to appear.
Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL) - This type of cancer occurs due to the abnormal growth of immature white blood cells (lymphocytes).
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)- Mature white blood cells (Lymphocytes) are affected and the condition gets worse with time.

Caused by genetic mutation of the brain cells or low-grade glial tumor, brain cancer is not a condition that can always be prevented effectively but having thorough knowledge about the triggering factors, symptoms, and precautions can definitely impact your chances of developing it. Timely screening, eating healthy food and staying away from carcinogens can help in preventing brain cancer.
Brain tumors are divided into 4 stages starting from Stage I to Stage IV. In the Stage I, the cancer starts growing slowly and then Stage IV is the advanced stage in which the cancer spreads to other parts of the body.
Biopsy is mainly associated with cancer and it helps doctors to detect abnormalities or any kind of diseases present in a human body. When a biopsy is done, a piece of tissue or a sample of cells is removed from body so that it can be analyzed in a laboratory. Based on the type of cancer there are various kinds of biopsies including Skin Biopsy, Bone Marrow Biopsy, Surgical Biopsy, Needle Biopsy and Endoscopic Biopsy.
