Cancers can be divided into two main groups: oncological cancers, originating from organs, and hematological cancers, originating from cells in the bone marrow and blood.

In oncological cancers, which develop in organs, cancer suspicion may arise from blood counts or other tests. However, the essential finding in organ cancers is the detection of a mass or lesion anywhere in the body.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) may be suspected based on data revealed in a complete blood count test. Low white blood cell (WBC) count or high WBC count, accompanied by low hemoglobin and platelet counts, can raise suspicion for AML.

Along with blood test data, if the patient presents with weakness, fatigue, gingival bleeding, bruising, fever, and bone pain, AML is among the first conditions considered.
