Abstract:
A brief review of the history of human leukemia, first identified as a new disease in 1845, is given as a personal perspective related to the re-examination of dogmas surrounding the disease. The paper addresses the question of what kind of disease leukemia is, and how far the adherence to dogma has shaped the firm belief that leukemia is a malignancy.
