Johns Hopkins is home to one of the largest leukemia programs worldwide. Our researchers are covering groundbreaking treatments in all types of leukemias and blood disorders. Leukemia is a cancer of the blood cells, which are produced in the bone marrow -- the spongy interior of the bones. Normally, blood cells are made in an orderly, controlled way. When leukemia develops, the bone marrow produces abnormal cells; therefore, the cells that are responsible for fighting infections and preventing bleeding are not made correctly.
