T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia

T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is a type of blood cancer where the body produces too many abnormal T lymphocytes, a kind of infection-fighting cell. These cancerous cells multiply rapidly and crowd out healthy blood cells in the bone marrow, leading to problems like anemia, infections, and bleeding. T-ALL often develops quickly and requires prompt treatment, typically involving intensive chemotherapy. It can also spread to other organs. Advances in therapy have improved outcomes, but managing T-ALL usually involves a combination of treatments tailored to each patient's condition.
