@princess86 I am confused by that as I have heard that before but most call it cancer. I’m not really sure why the difference

@sdcgcarroll it is considered and called cancer now. This change was fairly recent so older doctors may still call it a disorder. I wonder why it was not always considered a cancer. It fits the general definition. Was AML ever not considered a blood cancer?
