What is Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia?
Description of the disease
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a malignant blood disorder characterized by an excess of mature lymphocytes in the blood and bone marrow. These lymphocytes gradually accumulate, displacing healthy hematopoietic cells.
Classification
- Chronic lymphocytic leukemia with low cell count
- Chronic lymphocytic leukemia with high cell count
Symptoms
Symptoms of CLL may include enlarged lymph nodes, fatigue, weight loss, increased sweating, and increased susceptibility to infections.
Causes
The exact causes of CLL are unknown. Some risk factors include genetic predisposition and environmental exposure.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis of CLL includes blood tests, lymph node and bone marrow biopsies, and imaging procedures.
Treatment
Treatment for CLL may include chemotherapy, immunotherapy, drug therapy, and bone marrow transplantation.
Prevention
There are no specific ways to prevent CLL. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and active living, may help reduce the risk of the disease.
Doctor
CLL treatment is provided by an oncologist-hematologist.
