The slow-growing form of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the least serious type of leukemia. It is a disease of older people; the average age at diagnosis is around 71. CLL is a malignancy of mature lymphocytes, which usually grow and divide slowly, resulting in a slowly progressive disease. Most individuals have no symptoms early in the disease and the diagnosis is often made only after finding an increased white blood cell count on a routine blood test.
If a person has no symptoms when diagnosed, a CT scan is generally not needed. When it is needed, it is usually done only before treatment and at the end of treatment. Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy. CLL is usually diagnosed with blood tests because the cancerous cells are easily found in the blood.
These include:
Recent advances in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) have dramatically changed outcomes for patients. Despite these improvements, CLL is still considered incurable.
Code 9823/3 is used for CLL, SLL, and CLL/SLL.

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.
The cancer (leukemia) cells start in the bone marrow but then go into the blood. In CLL, the leukemia cells often build up slowly. Many people don't have any symptoms for at least a few years. But over time, the cells grow and spread to other parts of the body, including the lymph nodes, liver, and spleen.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
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.
In CLL, the abnormal cells develop from early blood cells called the lymphoid blood stem cells. The cancerous white blood cells are B lymphocytes, also called B cells. In CML, the abnormal leukaemia cells develop from early blood cells called the myeloid blood stem cells. They become myelocytes.
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.
Both types of leukemia are much more common in adults than in children. About 15 percent of all leukemia cases are CML and 38 percent of leukemia cases are CLL. There are many similarities between CML and CLL, but they're not the same.
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.
tests that examine the blood, bone marrow, and lymph nodes diagnose cll. Your doctor may choose to just monitor you until symptoms appear or change. Treatments include radiation therapy, chemotherapy, surgery to remove the spleen, and targeted therapy.
In a few cases, such as for malignant melanoma and certain neuroendocrine tumors, the morphology (histologic type) is included in the category and codes. Primary malignant neoplasms overlapping site boundaries.
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.
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.
A slowly progressing cancer that starts in blood-forming tissues such as the bone marrow, and causes large numbers of white blood cells to be produced and enter the blood stream. A slowly progressing leukemia characterized by a clonal (malignant) proliferation of maturing and mature myeloid cells or mature lymphocytes.
In a few cases, such as for malignant melanoma and certain neuroendocrine tumors, the morphology (histologic type) is included in the category and codes. Primary malignant neoplasms overlapping site boundaries.
Clinical Information. 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 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.
