Early symptoms of leukemia

summary

Leukemia, also known as blood cancer, is a malignant tumor of the hematopoietic system. The source of the disease is the abnormal work of hematopoietic tissue in bone marrow due to the variation of cellular DNA. Stem cells in bone marrow can produce thousands of red blood cells and white blood cells every day. Leukemia patients produce immature white blood cells excessively, which hinders other work of bone marrow, and reduces the function of bone marrow to produce other blood cells. Leukemia can spread to lymph nodes, spleen, liver, central nervous system and other organs. Once the need for timely treatment is found, what are the early symptoms of leukemia?
