Preview- One can presume that, fused genes and chromosomal rearrangements have been found in several blood (i.e., haema) cancers, such as chronic myelogenous (i.e., myelogenetic) leukemia (i.e., leukocytic sarcoma) (CML) and in soft tissue tumors, such as Ewing`s sarcoma, but these diseases are rare compared to prostate (i.e., prostata, or glandula prostatica) gland (i.e., glandula) cancer, which is one of the lead cancers among American men. CML is a slowly progressing disease in which too many white (i.e., albicans) blood cells (not lymphocytes) are made in the bone (i.e., os) marrow (i.e., medulla ossium). Also called chronic granulocytic leukemia (i.e., chronic myelocytic leukemia) (i.e., leukemic myelosis, or myelocytic leukemia), chronic myelogenous leukemia, and chronic myeloid leukemia (i.e., chronic myelocytic leukemia). Blood is a tissue with red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and other substances suspended in fluid called plasma (i.e., blood plasma). Blood takes oxygen and nutrients to the tissues, and carries away wastes. Myelogenous, having to do with, produced by, or resembling the bone marrow. Sometimes used as a synonym for myeloid; for example, acute myeloid leukemia and acute myelogenous leukemia are the same disease. Sarcoma is a cancer of the bone, cartilage (i.e., cartilago, or chondrus), fat (i.e., adipose tissue), muscle (i.e., musculus, or see musculus), blood vessels, or other connective or supportive tissue. Tissue is a group or layer (i.e., panniculus) of cells that work together to perform a specific function. Chronic is a disease or condition that persists or progresses over a long period of time. Leukemia, cancer that starts in blood-forming tissue such as the bone marrow and causes large numbers of blood cells to be produced and enter the bloodstream. Chronic myelogenous leukemia is a slowly progressing disease in which too many white blood cells (not lymphocytes) are made in the bone marrow. Also called chronic granulocytic leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia, and CML. Soft tissue, refers to muscle, fat, fibrous (i.e., fibrosa) tissue, blood vessels, or other supporting tissue (i.e., connective tissue) of the body. Prostate is a gland in the male (i.e., masculine) reproductive system (i.e., genital system). The prostate surrounds the part of the urethra (the tube (i.e., tuba) that empties the bladder) just below the bladder, and produces a fluid that forms part of the semen (i.e., seed, or seminal fluid).
