Red +blood cells transport oxygen from the lungs to the tissues of the body and vice versa. +White blood cells help the body to fight against diseases and infections. Platelets help +to clot and control bleeding. Leukemia is cancer of blood cells in which number of +white cells is increases numerously and those are immature cells that interfere with +other blood cells, usually red blood cells and platelets. Our body’s white blood cell ratio +is 1000:1. It means that between 1000 red blood cells there is 1 white blood cell. +There are two types of white blood cells that get turn into leukemia and they are: +1. Lymphoid cells +2. Myeloid cells + + + +Leukemia that caused due to lymphoid cells is called lymphocytic or lymphoblastic +leukemia and if it is caused due to myeloid cells then it is known as myelogenous +or myeloid leukemia. Leukemia is grouped in two ways: acute or chronic, grouped +according to how fast the cells are growing. The abnormal blood cells in acute +leukemia are usually immature blasts (young cells) that do not work properly. These +cells are growing fast. Acute leukemia gets worse quickly unless it is immediately +treated. Young blood cells are present in chronic leukemia, but also mature +functional cells are produced. Blasts are growing slowly in chronic leukemia. It +takes the disease longer to get worse. +The four major forms of leukemia are: +1. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) +2. Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) +3. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and +4. Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) + +# PURPOSE +The purpose of our project is to develop a system that can automatically detect cancer +from the blood cell images. This system uses a convolution network that inputs a blood +cell images and outputs whether the cell is infected with cancer or not. The appearance +of cancer in blood cell images is often vague, can overlap with other diagnoses, and can +mimic many other benign abnormalities. These discrepancies cause considerable +variability among medical personnel in the diagnosis of cancer. Automated detection +of cancer from blood cell images at the level of expert medical personnel would not +only have tremendous benefit in clinical settings, it would also be invaluable in delivery +of health care to populations with inadequate access to diagnostic imaging specialists. + +# visit [aihubprojects.com](https://aihubprojects.com/blood-cancer-detection-using-cnn-ai-projects/) for more
