Course Description

This course provides an overview of the common types of leukaemia including plasma cell myeloma. Here, students will be introduced to the pathogenesis and classification used in the recently revised 2016 WHO Classification of Tumours of Haemopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues as well as the French-American-British (FAB) classification. The subtopics on laboratory investigations will explore the latest diagnostic tools for these diseases. More information on aetiology, clinical presentation, prognostic factors and treatment will also be explained in this course. This course is designed for students with a medical or science background or anyone with an interest in haematology-oncology. This course uses many medical terms which might be difficult for someone without basic medical knowledge. Although there is no time limit to complete the course, it should ideally be completed within 10 weeks.

 Frequently Asked Questions

A1 : Acute leukaemia is characterized by undifferentiated or immature cells, usually a blast cell, and the onset of disease is abrupt and rapid with a short survival time.

In chronic leukaemia the predominant cell is more differentiated or mature but does not function normally, with a relatively slow progression.

A2 : Hyperviscosity syndrome is a condition in which blood isn't able to flow freely through your arteries. In this syndrome, arterial blockages can happen due to too many red blood cells, white blood cells, or proteins in your bloodstream.

A3 : Paraproteinemia is a finding of a high concentration of monoclonal immunoglobulin or immunoglobulin fragment, so-called paraprotein or serum M component (M for monoclonal) produced in any one of a diverse group of immunoproliferative disorders involving the proliferation of a single clone of cells.
