Acute myelogenous leukemia is one of a variety of cancers resulting from prolonged benzene exposure. In adults, acute myelogenous leukemia is a common form of leukemia; over 10,000 adults are diagnosed yearly in the US. Acute myelogenous leukemia also accounts for a large number of leukemia cases in children. Acute myelogenous leukemia is also called acute nonlymphotic leukemia, acute granulocytic leukemia, and acute myelogenous leukemia. Acute myelogenous leukemia affects the body''s blood forming tissues, causing an overabundance of immature white blood cells. Acute myelogenous leukemia symptoms include bleeding, bone pain, exhaustion, skin irritation, and weight loss. This makes acute myelogenous leukemia difficult to diagnose, as many less threatening diseases have the same symptoms. Treatment of acute myelogenous leukemia focuses on complete remission and is generally successful.
Medical and scientific communities generally consider acute myelogenous leukemia to be a result of benzene overexposure. Groups at increased risk for developing acute myelogenous leukemia include painters, petroleum and industrial workers, and individuals involved in dry cleaning and print work. Acute myelogenous leukemia as the result of benzene overexposure can result in compensation for victims. Lawyers specializing in acute myelogenous leukemia cases can recover cost of treatments, damages and lost wages, in addition to punitive monies.
