What are the symptoms of leukemia?
The answers with Prof. Véronique LeBlond, hematologist to the hospital group Pity-Salpêtrière:
"This is very heterogeneous. There are acute leukemias and chronic leukemias. In acute leukemias, as there is a decrease in immune defenses, the disease is often revealed by fever, by infections or possibly signs of anemia or bleeding because there are fewer platelets so we bleed.

"Chronic leukemias are, by definition, often asymptomatic. The discovery of chronic leukemia is done on a count performed for something else or because the patient is tired, sometimes it can have a big spleen... but chronic leukemia does not have a noisy revelation as this may be the case for Acute leukemias. For acute leukemias, the diagnosis is done quickly, and the treatment should be rapid. Acute leukemias should be treated as quickly as possible, we cannot wait. "
