Chronic and Acute. Chronic worsens slowly, acute worsens quickly. Chronic leukemias are Chronic Lymphoblasitc Leukemia andChronic Myeloid Leukemia. Acute leukemias are Acute Lymphoblastice Leukemia and Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
Chronic Leukemia's
in chronic leukemia, the leukemia cells come from mature, abnormal cells. The cells thrive for too long and accumulate. The cells grow slowly.
Acute Leukemia's
acute leukemia, on the other hand, develops from early cells, called "blasts". Blasts are young cells that divide frequently. In acute leukemia cells, they don't stop dividing like their normal counterparts do.
The remaining two types refer to the type of cells in which the leukemia started from.
Myelogenous Leukemia
Myelogenous leukemia develops from myeloid cells. The disease can either be chronic or acute, referred as chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), or acute myelogenous leukemia (ALL).
Lymphocytic Leukemia
Lymphocytic leukemia develops from cells called lymphoblasts or lymphocytes in the blood marrow. The disease can be acute or chronic, referred as chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), or acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL).
Leukemia is the general term used to describe a number of malignant diseases where the blood-forming organs produce increased numbers of leucocytes. Leucocytes are the colorless cells in blood and lymph etc. and which are important in fighting disease. CHRONIC AND ACUTE: In broad terms, leukemia is classified according to how fast it progresses: * In Chronic leukemia the cells develop slowly and the patient's condition gradually deteriorates over the years. * In Acute leukemia the blood-forming cells reproduce and accumulate very rapidly. If not treated quickly, death can ensue within a few months. TYPES There are about a dozen or so different types of leukemia classified according to the specific type of white/clear blood cell that is multiplying abnormally.
Main cell types affected and the term used for leukemic conditions of those cells: * Bone marrow lymphocytes (immune system cells) > lymphocytic leukemia. [cancers of other lymphocyte cells which develop in lymph nodes, spleen and organs other than bone marrow, are called lymphomas. These types of cancerous cells behave differently from those described as lymphocytic leukemias] * If either the granulocytes(bacteria-destroying cells) or the monocytes(macrophage-forming cells, i.e. large white cells which engulf foreign matter) are affected > myelogenous, or myeloid, leukemia. There are four possible permutations of the above classifications, and are the most common types of leukemia:
# Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML) # Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) # Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL) # Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) SUB-TYPES Medical science then identifies further sub-types, according to cancerous cell characteristics/features. * AML: To represent eight sub-types of AML the French-American-British classification system uses symbols M0, M1, M2 etc * CML is sub-classified according to three phases of development, 'chronic', 'accelerated' and 'blast' phases. * ALL is identified by the source of the cell, e.g. from the bone-marrow source being called ALL (B-cell), thymus-sourced being ALL (T-cell) etc. And the appearance of the cell falls into one of three L (Lymphocoytic) types, known as L-1, L-2 or L-3. * CLL is classified by staging, i.e. the stage the cancer has reached, as determined by cell appearance. There can be three or five stages, depending on which classification system is used. MORE DETAIL
Chronic leukemias can be further differentiated. e.g hairy cell leukemia (HCL), prolymphocytic leukemia (PLL), T-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (T-CLL), and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML). Of course it is possible to further differentiate the type of leukemia by identifying the specific DNA displacement/malfunction that is causing a particular cell to be malignant and which is being perpetuated in cell development and reproduction.

There are 4 types of leukemia, they are: Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL), Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML), Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL), Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).
There are a number of different kinds of leukemia, and they may have different causes. What is clear is that the causes of leukemia are unclear. There are some good arguments made for increased risk of leukemia based on genetic predisposition(it "runs in your family"), some viruses, exposure to some kinds of chemicals and also exposure to ionizing radiation, either natural or artificial. Leukemia is a not-so-nice form of lymphoma (cancer), and we're still on the trail in an attempt to nail down actual causes. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on leukemia.
Leukemia
There are many different types of leukemia. Some are acute and some are more chronic. Hairy cell leukemia is one of the worst types. It matures faster than most.
There are about 30 different kinds
Because there were many different kinds of wealthy people.
Yes, there are many different kinds of billing software. Many different kinds are used even within the same industry.
LEUKEMIA IS NOT EXTINCT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Many people have leukemia and many are also getting the disease!
There are many different kinds of seats in the world. There are millions of different kinds of seats in the world.

Many different kinds means lets say an apple and a orange are not the same but it is DIFFERENT
You have a greater risk of developing leukemia if it runs in the family but anyone can get it. It also possible that leukemia can strike you at an early age acute leukemia is a common forms of leukemia for children. I found an article that explains different kinds of leukemia that maybe could help you understand and come up with an idea how to cure leukemia or better to prevent it earlier. Please see related link.
There are 59 different kinds of eagles.
