Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a cancer of the lymphoid line of blood cells characterized by the development of large numbers of immature lymphocytes. [1] Symptoms may include feeling tired, pale skin color, fever, easy bleeding or bruising, enlarged lymph nodes, or bone pain. [1]
T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is a type of acute lymphoblastic leukemia characterized by an aggressive malignant neoplasm of the bone marrow. [6] Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a condition, wherein immature white blood cells accumulate in the bone marrow and crowd out normal white blood cells. [7]
CLL is the most common type of leukemia in the Western world compared to non-Western regions such as Asia, Latin America, and Africa. [88] It is observed globally that males are twice as likely than females to acquire CLL. [88] CLL is primarily a disease of older adults, with 9 out of 10 cases occurring after the age of 50 years. [89]
These blood cells are not fully developed and are called blasts or leukemia cells. [2] Symptoms may include bleeding and bruising, bone pain, fatigue, fever, and an increased risk of infections. [2] These symptoms occur due to a lack of normal blood cells. [2] Diagnosis is typically made by blood tests or bone marrow biopsy. [2]
Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL or ATLL) is a rare cancer of the immune system's T-cells [1] [2] [3] caused by human T cell leukemia/lymphotropic virus type 1 . [4] All ATL cells contain integrated HTLV-1 provirus further supporting that causal role of the virus in the cause of the neoplasm. [ 4 ]
Mixed-phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL) is a group of blood cancers which have combined features of myeloid and lymphoid cancers. It is a rare disease, constituting about 2–5% of all leukemia cases. [1] It mostly involve myeloid with either of T lymphocyte or B lymphocyte progenitors, but in rare cases all the three cell lineages. [2]
Acute myeloid leukemia is the most common acute leukemia that is affecting the adult population. The 5-year survival rate for the cancer stands at around 26% (ACS, 2016). M2 acute myeloblastic leukemia with maturation refers to the subtype of acute myeloid leukemia characterized by the maturation stages of the myeloid cell development and the ...
Subleukemic leukemia, also known as leukemia subleukemic and aleukemic leukemia cutis, is a rare, cancerous blood disease characterized by the presence of abnormal or atypical white blood cells in the peripheral blood while the total white blood cell count is within the normal range. It can also be characterized by leukemic cells in the skin ...
