Special Issue on Leukemia

Leukemia is cancer that usually starts in the bone marrow and results in excessive abnormal white blood cells. Symptoms may include swollen gland, pain in the bones or joints, fevers, night sweats, feeling weak or tired, frequent infections, bleeding and bruising problems. No one knows exactly what causes leukemia, while some factors are believed to increase the risk, such as smoking, ionizing radiation and being exposed to certain chemicals. People with a family history of leukemia are also more likely to have the cancer.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Leukemia. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Acute lymphoblastic leukemia
• Acute myeloid leukemia
• Chronic lymphocytic leukemia
• Chronic myeloid leukemia
• Human T-lymphotropic virus
• Hairy cell leukemia
• Juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia
• Antileukemic drugs
• Leukemia in children

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Leukemia” should be selected during your submission.
