The early stages of leukaemia

Of recent years there has been a growing literature on the subject of leukaemia in its earlier stages, and it is becoming apparent that conditions formerly thought to be separate entities, are actually unusual manifestations of a well recognised type. Thus the classification and nomenclature tends to become simplified, and terms such as "leucanaemia" and "mixed leukaemia" are passing into disuse, although such a horror as "aleukaemic leukaemia" still survives to offend the aesthetic sense. The difficulty remains that apparently the marrow may be the seat of a leukaemic process before the blood is affected.
