CLL-AP (Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Absolute Progession)

CLL-AP, or Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Absolute Progression, refers to the measurable worsening or advancing of the disease over time. In CLL, the number or activity of abnormal lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) increases, leading to symptoms or complications. Absolute Progression indicates a quantifiable change, such as higher lymphocyte counts or worsening clinical features, signaling that the disease is progressing despite previous stability or treatment. Monitoring CLL-AP helps doctors determine if and when treatment adjustments are needed to manage the disease effectively.
