Understanding Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow, primarily characterized by the excessive production of abnormal white blood cells, known as lymphocytes. These abnormal cells gradually accumulate in the blood and bone marrow, interfering with the body’s ability to fight infections. CLL […]
Understanding Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) in Adults Acute Myeloid Leukemia, commonly referred to as AML, is a type of cancer that affects the bone marrow and blood.
