PY - 2013 T2 - Harrison's Hematology and Oncology, 2e AB - The myeloid leukemias are a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by infiltration of the blood, bone marrow, and other tissues by neoplastic cells of the hematopoietic system. In 2010, the estimated number of new myeloid leukemia cases in the United States was 17,200.
