Patients with leukemia may ultimately die due to multiple infections (bacteria, fungal, and/or viral), severe nutritional deficiencies, and failure of multiple organ systems. The patients can also face complications due to the leukemia treatment itself, which can sometimes be life-threatening. Some patients can go into complete remission.
Doctors can very rarely cure CLL. However, survival rates for this cancer are good, particularly with early diagnosis and treatment. People can live with CLL for many years after diagnosis, and some can live for years without the need for treatment.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Emily MacGillivray treated her house like an obstacle course. The toddler, a tornado of energy, could be found after a scamper sitting on counter tops. “We never had a kid who constantly was climbing on things,” said Mountain MacGillivray, her father and the coach of La Salle's women’s basketball team.
Code 9823/3 is used for CLL, SLL, and CLL/SLL.
Leukemia is myeloid or lymphocytic depending on which bone marrow cells the cancer starts in. Lymphocytic leukemias (also known as lymphoid or lymphoblastic leukemia) start in the cells that become lymphocytes.
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is a type of cancer in which the bone marrow makes too many lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell). Leukemia may affect red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Signs and symptoms of chronic lymphocytic leukemia include swollen lymph nodes and feeling tired.

CLL and SLL are slow-growing (low-grade or 'indolent') cancers. Many doctors group them together as a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. They usually behave like a long-term (chronic) condition that needs treatment from time-to-time to keep it under control. CLL and SLL are treated in the same way.
There are two main types of lymphocytes: B cells and T cells. CLL may start in either of these cell types, but it usually affects B cells. B-cell CLL makes up more than 95 percent of all CLL cases, according to the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO). T-cell CLL is much rarer.
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a malignancy of CD5+ B cells that is characterized by the accumulation of small, mature-appearing neoplastic lymphocytes in the blood, marrow, and secondary lymphoid tissues. Genetic factors contribute to the development of CLL.
Small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) is a cancer that affects a type of white blood cell called a "lymphocyte," which helps your body fight infection. You may hear your doctor refer to SLL as a "non-Hodgkin's lymphoma," which is a group of cancers that affect lymphocytes.
CLL accounts for about one-quarter of the new cases of leukemia. The average person's lifetime risk of getting CLL is about 1 in 175 (0.57%). The risk is slightly higher in men than in women. CLL mainly affects older adults.
ICD-10 code C91. 0 for Acute lymphoblastic leukemia [ALL] is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Malignant neoplasms .

A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.
Chronic leukemia characterized by morphologically mature but immunologically less mature lymphocytes; manifested by an abnormal accumulation of these cells in blood, bone marrow, and lymphatic tissue. leukemia is cancer of the white blood cells. White blood cells help your body fight infection.
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes. It means "not coded here". A type 1 excludes note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as C91.1. A type 1 excludes note is for used for when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not. An additional code from Chapter 4 may be used, to identify functional activity associated with any neoplasm. Morphology [Histology] Chapter 2 classifies neoplasms primarily by site (topography), with broad groupings for behavior, malignant, in situ, benign, ...
These cells crowd out the healthy blood cells, making it hard for blood to do its work. In chronic lymphocytic leukemia ( cll), there are too many lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell.cll is the second most common type of leukemia in adults.
This type of leukemia is not considered to be curable with available therapy. (who, 2001) Transformation of chronic lymphocytic leukemia into aggressive non-hodgkin's lymphoma, usually diffuse large b-cell lymphoma (immunoblastic or centroblastic variant).
Molecular genetic studies suggest that in approximately half of the cases, the lymphoma is clonally related to the underlying chronic lymphocytic leukemia, whereas in the remaining cases the lymphoma probably represents a secondary, unrelated neoplasm. Code History.
A type of cancer in which the bone marrow makes too many lymphocytes (white blood cells). Leukemia associated with hyperplasia and overactivity of the lymphoid tissue; there are increased numbers of circulating malignant lymphocytes and lymphoblasts.
A malignant lymphocytic neoplasm of b-cell or t-cell lineage involving primarily the bone marrow and the peripheral blood. This category includes precursor or acute lymphoblastic leukemias and chronic leukemias. A progressive, proliferative disease of blood cells, originating from lymphoid cells.
