Leukemia is a type of malignant clonal disease of hematopoietic stem cells. Clonal leukemia cells proliferate and accumulate in the bone marrow and other hematopoietic tissues due to uncontrolled proliferation, differentiation disorders, and blocked apoptosis, and infiltrate other tissues and organs, while normal hematopoiesis is inhibited. Clinically, symptoms include varying degrees of anemia, bleeding, infection fever, enlargement of the liver, spleen, lymph nodes, and bone pain. It is reported that the incidence rate of leukemia in various regions of my country ranks sixth among various tumors.

According to the severity of onset, leukemia can be divided into acute and chronic leukemia. The differentiation of acute leukemia cells stagnates at an early stage, with primitive and early immature cells being the main components. The disease progresses rapidly and lasts for several months. Chronic leukemia cells are well differentiated, mainly composed of immature or mature cells, develop slowly, and the course of the disease is several years. Classified by the series of diseased cells, it includes the granulocyte, monocytic, erythroid, megakaryocytic cells of the myeloid system and the T and B cell lines of the lymphoid system. Clinically, leukemia is often divided into acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML, formerly known as acute non-lymphocytic leukemia), chronic myeloid leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, etc.
