Know AML | Acute Myeloid Leukemia Diagnosis

Acute myeloid leukemia, often shortened to AML, is a type of cancer affecting the stem cells in the bone marrow.

There are a number of tests that are used to diagnose AML. To start with, your doctor will perform a physical examination and arrange for blood tests.

Blood tests are performed to look for changes in the numbers and appearance of the different types of cells in the blood. The presence of an abnormally high number of white blood cells could be an indication of AML and further testing would be needed.
