Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Leukemia is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow, where new blood cells are made. It can cause an excessive number of abnormal white blood cells, which do not function properly and can lead to a weakened immune system, resulting in inadequate defense against foreign invasion (A). Leukemia can also lead to anemia, which occurs when there are not enough red blood cells to carry oxygen to the body's tissues (B). Thrombocytes, or platelets, are necessary for blood clotting, and leukemia can cause lower production of thrombocytes, leading to a higher risk of internal bleeding (C). Therefore, all of the above choices are possible occurrences with leukemia (E).
