NL - Acute lymfatische leukemie (een vorm van bloedkanker waarbij bepaalde onrijpe witte bloedcellen, lymfoblasten genoemd, woekeren)
EN - Acute lymphatic leukemie (a form of blood cancer in which certain immature white blood cells, called lymphoblasts, proliferate)
Context: Package leaflet for an anti-cancer treatment
I wonder about "lymphatic". Sure this is the direct translation but I think it might be "lymphoblastic" or "lymphoid" leukemia, i.e. leukemia involving the lymphoblasts or lympoid tissue, rather than leukemia involving the lymphatic system. Especially given the explanation in parentheses.
Any ideas from medical specialists would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

acute lymphoblastic leukaemia
A lymphoblast is an immature form of lymphocyte. There are four main types of cancer affecting the lymphatic system. These are acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, acute myeloid leukaemia and chronic myeloid leukaemia. Please follow the reference below and its various links for explanations of the four different main types. Not that it is an authoritative source, but you will also find that Wikipedia searches for acute lymphatic leukaemia are automatically referred to acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. If you translate acute lymphatic leukaemia, you would not be wrong but if you want to be professionally correct, it should be acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Again, if you use acute lymphocytic leukaemia, you would not be wrong; indeed you will find acute lymphocytic leukaemia in about 5% of publications in this field on Pubmed but you will find acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in 85% of them. I reiterate that a lymphoblast is an immature lymphocyte. Hope this helps.

US spelling would, of course, be leukemia as opposed to leukaemia.

Thanks, Barend - apart from adding the abbreviation ALL for the term we are busy trying to clarify, I answered 15 to 20 minutes before you, repositioned when I added the note on US spelling in case that was what you meant. Proz ignores fractions of hours.

acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a form of leukemia, or cancer of the white blood cells characterized by excess lymphoblasts.
Malignant, immature white blood cells continuously multiply and are overproduced in the bone marrow. ALL causes damage and death by crowding out normal cells in the bone marrow, and by spreading (infiltrating) to other organs. ALL is most common in childhood with a peak incidence at 2–5 years of age, and another peak in old age.

acute lymfatische leukemie (ALL)
proliferatie van lymfoblastaire cellen en andere voorlopers van de lymfocytaire reeks in beenmerg en later ook in bloed met tekort aan rijpe cellen (pancytopenie); wordt geclassificeerd op grond van celmorfologie (ALL/AML); klinische verschijnselen zijn onder andere bloedarmoede, bloedings- en/of infectieneiging, klierzwelling en vergroting van lever en/of milt

Acute lymfatische leukemie (ALL) is een beenmergziekte die met chemotherapie wordt behandeld. Het middel asparaginase heeft de behandelresultaten sterk verbeterd. Het geeft echter veel bijwerkingen zoals trombose, het ongewild ontstaan van stolsels in bloedvaten.

Yes, thank you, Anne. I would prefer "lymphoblastic". However, both terms are used.

acute lymphatic leukemia
I think that should be it.

The term is also sometimes translated as "acute lymphocytic leukemia". I think I should know, because I myself have CLL.
--------------------------------------------------

Wikipedia clearly states that: "... it is interchangeably referred to as lymphocytic or lymphoblastic." SO everybody is right and it seems to be a matter of choice.

Over the top! Wikipadia also clearly states that: It is interchangeably referred to as lymphocytic or lymphoblastic.
