T-cell neoplasms

T-cell neoplasms are a group of cancers that originate in T-cells, which are a type of white blood cell essential for the immune system. These neoplasms can become malignant, meaning the cells grow uncontrollably, leading to various types of disorders, such as leukemia or lymphoma. Symptoms may include swollen lymph nodes, fatigue, and infections. Treatment options often involve chemotherapy, radiation, or stem cell transplants. Understanding T-cell neoplasms is crucial as they can significantly impact a person’s health but are also the subject of ongoing research for better therapies.
