Appropriate for college-bound students as well as general readers, Leukemia creatively addresses the science behind white blood cell cancers by presenting information within the framework of a medical detective case. The book involves readers by inviting them to participate in an investigation into a suspicious case of leukemia. Serious content about hematological malignancies—such as the symptoms of leukemia, analysis of lab tests, and interpretation of pathology reports—are examined in a lively and engaging tone without detracting from the seriousness of the disease. The author tempers coverage of the scientific and research-based aspects of the disease with fascinating past and present-day iconic pop culture, drawing upon films, movies, and memorabilia to build interest. Relatable analogies have also been included to enhance the comprehension of such a complex subject.
