B-cell leukemia
B-cell leukemia is a type of blood cancer where abnormal B lymphocytes, a kind of white blood cell that helps fight infections, multiply uncontrollably. These cancerous cells accumulate in the blood and bone marrow, crowding out healthy cells and impairing immune function. This can lead to symptoms like fatigue, frequent infections, easy bruising or bleeding, and swelling of lymph nodes. B-cell leukemia can develop quickly (acute) or slowly (chronic), and treatment options vary depending on the specific type and stage. Early diagnosis and appropriate therapy are important for managing the disease effectively.
