| Stage III Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia - There are too many lymphocytes in the blood, and there are too few red blood cells (anemia). Lymph nodes, liver, or spleen may be swollen. | |
| Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia - A slowly progressing disease in which too many white blood cells (called lymphocytes) are found in the body. | |
| Acute Myelogenous Leukemia - AML. A quickly progressing disease in which too many immature blood-forming cells are found in the blood and bone marrow. Also called acute myeloid leukemia or acute nonlymphocytic leukemia. | |
| Smoldering Leukemia - Disease in which the bone marrow does not function normally. Also called preleukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome. | |
