Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL)

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL) is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. In CLL, the body produces too many immature white blood cells, which do not function properly. These abnormal cells accumulate and can interfere with the production of healthy blood cells, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, infections, and easy bruising. CLL typically progresses slowly and is more common in older adults. Treatment may include monitoring, chemotherapy, or targeted therapies, depending on the severity of the disease and the individual's health. Regular medical follow-ups are important for managing the condition.
