CLP (Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia)

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow, specifically targeting a group of white blood cells called lymphocytes. In CLL, these cells grow uncontrollably and accumulate, impairing the body’s ability to fight infections and causing various health issues. Symptoms may include fatigue, swollen lymph nodes, and frequent infections. CLL typically progresses slowly and is more common in older adults. Treatment options vary based on individual cases and may include observation, chemotherapy, or targeted therapies, aiming to manage the disease rather than cure it. Regular monitoring is essential.
