All right, so let's learn about leukemia today. We'll make this nice and quick and just focus on the things that you really need to know.

Thank you as always, you guys are the best, leave the nicest comments. I really do appreciate that.

So thank you so much for that. If you haven't checked out the YouTube channel please do

classifications it's classified as

acute or chronic by the degree of cell differentiation, so the cell age. So that's

your acute first chronic, so AML versus ALL and CML versus CLL.

And then it's classified by the predominant cell involved,

so either myloid or lymphoid, or lymphoid.

So your ALL and CLL versus your AML and CML.

And of course there's four different subtypes,

acute lymphoblastic leukemia, acute myloid leukemia,

chronic lymphocytic leukemia,

and chronic myloid leukemia.

You're going to hear a bunch of variations in those names.
