Leukemia is a cancer that affects blood cells in the bone marrow. It starts when a single cell mutates and develops abnormally. There are many types of leukemia that affect both children and adults. Treatment depends on the specific type of leukemia diagnosed as well as other factors like age and health. Image segmentation techniques using microscopic images of blood samples can help detect leukemia at early stages to improve survival rates. Survival rates vary by type of leukemia, with acute myeloid leukemia having a 5-year relative survival rate of around 30% for all ages.

Introduction
Leukemia starts when the DNA of a single cell in your bone marrow
changes (mutates) and can’t develop and function normally. Leukemia
cells often behave like abnormal white blood cells. Treatments for
leukemia depend on the type of leukemia you have, your age and overall
health, and if the leukemia has spread to other organs or tissues.
There are many types of leukemia. Some are more common
in children, while others are more common in adults.
Treatment depends on the type of leukemia and other
factors.

5. How does leukemia develop?
•Soft spongy tissue made in the inner cavity of your bones :
•Blood cells go through multiple stages before reaching their fully mature forms.
• Mature, normal blood cells include:
Red blood cells: Cells that carry oxygen and other vital materials to all tissues
and organs in your body.
White blood cells: Cells that fight infection.
Platelets: Cells that help your blood clot
Approaches to overcome leukemia:
Image segmentation, i.e., thredsholding and watershed
Microscopic images
An automatic image the segmentation technique can help save lives by
detecting and treating disease at an early stage.

6. Survival rates by type.
How long do leukemia patients live ?
Acute Myeloid
Leukemia
(AML)
AML)This type of
leukemia is most
common in older
adults, but it can be
diagnosed at any age.
Most deaths occur in
people ages 65 to 84.
84.Relative survival
rate for all ages 5 years
after diagnosis is about
29.5% .
