  1. All:

    When there are routine blood tests performed for a physical, or an individual who is sick, or shows
    symptoms of being ill, is it fairly evident when someone has Leukemia?

    All I have been reading on the Net says that it is normally found in routine blood tests. I suppose
    a routine blood test would normally include cell counts, right?

    Just wondering. . .

    Thanks!

    A "routine" blood test (I can only assume you mean a complete blood count (CBC)), won't diagnose
    leukemia. It can *suggest* a problem requiring further workup, but it won't diagnose leukemia.
