Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. [8] [9] In CLL, the bone marrow makes too many lymphocytes, which are a type of white blood cell. [8] [9] In patients with CLL, B cell lymphocytes can begin to collect in their blood, spleen, lymph nodes, and bone marrow.
Chronic leukemia is an increase of abnormal white blood cells. It differs from acute leukemia, and is categorized as myelogenous, lymphocytic or myeloproliferative. Chronic leukemia may refer to: Chronic myelogenous leukemia; Chronic lymphocytic leukemia, including Hairy cell leukemia
The lymphocyte subtypes are B-cells that share certain features with the abnormal clones of lymphocytes that circulate in chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocyte lymphoma (CLL/SLL) or, less frequently, other types of B-cell malignancies. Some individuals with these circulating B-cells develop CLL/SLL or the lymphoma types indicated by ...
In 2011, a year after treatment, two of the three people with advanced chronic lymphocytic leukemia were reported to be cancer-free [99] and in 2013, three of five subjects who had acute lymphocytic leukemia were reported to be in remission for five months to two years. [100]
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) 4.0% Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) 8.7% Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) sorted under lymphomas according to current WHO classification; called small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) when leukemic cells are absent. 10.2% Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) 3.7% Acute monocytic leukemia (AMoL) 0.7% Other leukemias 3.1%
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and small cell lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) are different manifestations of the same disease and are managed in the same way. [21] When the abnormal lymphocytes are located mostly in the lymph nodes, it is referred to as SLL; when the abnormal lymphocytes are mostly in the blood and bone marrow, it is called CLL ...
Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL){now included in theCLL/SCLL type NHL} Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) Acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (AMKL), a sub-type of acute myelogenous leukemia; Chronic Idiopathic Myelofibrosis (MF) Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL)
Lymphoproliferative disorders are a set of disorders characterized by the abnormal proliferation of lymphocytes into a monoclonal lymphocytosis.The two major types of lymphocytes are B cells and T cells, which are derived from pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow.
