Leukemias are malignant disorders of white blood cells causing bone marrow failure and organ infiltration. The document outlines acute and chronic forms, including AML, ALL, CML, and CLL, and discusses their epidemiology and risk factors. Detailed staging systems for CLL (Rai and Binet) and treatment options such as chemotherapy, BTK inhibitors, and stem cell transplantation are presented. Complications of disease and therapy, including infections, autoimmune phenomena, and long‑term toxicities, are also covered.
