Spleen oncogenesis

Spleen oncogenesis refers to the development of cancer in the spleen, an organ that helps filter blood and supports the immune system. Cancer in the spleen can arise from the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells, which may be caused by genetic mutations, infections, or exposure to certain chemicals. There are various types of spleen cancers, including primary lymphomas or leukemias that can spread to the spleen. Symptoms may include swelling, pain, or fatigue. Early detection and treatment are essential for improving outcomes, as with many cancers.
