By Chass Armstrong. If you have ever wondered what the difference between a straight tip catheter and coude tip catheter are, you have come to the right place. In this blog we will help to clear up the differences and what the specific uses for each catheter are.
1 Adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a type of cancer in which the bone marrow makes too many lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell). 2  Leukemia may affect red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. 3  Previous chemotherapy and exposure to radiation may increase the risk of developing ALL.
The term cancer encompasses more than 100 diseases affecting nearly every part of the body, and all are potentially life-threatening. The major types of cancer are carcinoma, sarcoma, melanoma, lymphoma, and leukemia. Carcinomas-- the most commonly diagnosed cancers -- originate in the skin, lungs, breasts, pancreas, and other organs and glands. Lymphomas are cancers of lymphocytes. Leukemia is cancer of the blood. It does not usually form solid tumors. Sarcomas arise in bone, muscle, fat, bloodvessels, cartilage, or other soft or connective tissues of the body.
