Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) is a cancer of the blood and bone marrow, where abnormal white blood cells called lymphocytes build up in the body. It is the most common type of leukemia in adults and can occur in both men and women. CLL often does not cause symptoms in the early stages, and diagnosis is usually done through a combination of physical exams, blood tests, and imaging tests. The treatment for CLL depends on the stage of the disease and the individual’s medical history, but may include medication, radiation, or a bone marrow transplant. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are key to managing CLL and can help improve a patient’s outcome and prognosis.
