Detailed explanation-1: -In leukemia, there is an overproduction of blast cells. These blast cells develop abnormally and don’t develop into mature blood cells. Over time, the blast cells crowd out normal blood cells so that they can’t do their jobs. When leukemia is diagnosed, these blast cells may be called leukemia cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Facts. Leukemia is a type of cancer that results in the body making too many abnormal white blood cells. This uncontrolled production results in an excessive amount of white blood cells that may be immature (acute leukemia) or mature (chronic leukemia).

Detailed explanation-3: -Leukemia, a type of cancer found in your blood and bone marrow, is caused by the rapid production of abnormal white blood cells. The high number of abnormal white blood cells are not able to fight infection, and they impair the ability of the bone marrow to produce red blood cells and platelets.

Detailed explanation-4: -The median WBC count among people with CML is 100, 000/l, but it can climb higher. Some sources note that people with acute or chronic leukemia may have a WBC count in the 100, 000–400, 000 range. As high WBC counts may indicate other conditions, doctors will conduct additional tests to help rule out or confirm CML.
