	Chronic lymphocytic leukemia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		CLL is the most-diagnosed form of leukemia in adults.
		The CLL diagnosis is confirmed by follow-up tests such as: differential WBC count which reveals a raised lymphocyte count and the presence of "smear" or "smudge" cells on microscopy; a specialized test called flow cytometry to detect the abnormal cells and determine their type; and sometimes also by bone marrow biopsy.
		A crucial part of the CLL diagnosis is determining the immunophenotype of the leukemia, that is, the abnormal combination of proteins expressed by the leukemic cells.

		CLL is the second most common type of leukemia in adults.
		Usually CLL does not cause any symptoms and is found during a routine blood test.

	Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) Clinical Picture - The Doctors Lounge(TM)
		As is the case with enlarged lymph nodes, an enlarged spleen in CLL is usually painless and upon palpation is nontender with a sharp edge and a smooth, firm surface.
		The liver in CLL generally is not greatly enlarged, ranging from 2 to 6 cm below the right costal margin, with a span of dullness on percussion of 10 to 16 cm.
		Infiltration with CLL cells may occur in any organ; at the time of diagnosis, skin lesions are the most obvious, but are seen in less than 5% of cases.

	CRC-What is chronic lymphocytic leukemia (cll)?
		CLL is the most common leukemia in the U.S. Moreover, the incidence rates of this disease appear to be on the rise.
		First-degree relatives of patients with CLL are significantly higher risk for having this disease than is the general population.
		In one recent study, 3.5% of healthy persons over age 40 were found to have blood lymphocytes with the phenotype of CLL B cells that had apparent restriction in the use of immunoglobulin light-chains and immunoglobulin heavy-chain variable region gene subgroups.

	CLL Topics - patient education, clinical research and new therapies for chronic lymphocytic leukemia
		A CLL Primer is directed at newly diagnosed patients (or as a refresher for those desiring to get caught up quickly) and serves to orient the patient or caregiver and highlight some basic facts and considerations.
		It is well documented that CLL strikes more than one person in some families, there is clearly a predisposition to the disease that has been passed on from one generation to the next in these families.
		The behavior of CLL as a disease and the different characteristics exhibited by strains with different clonal genetic aberrations are all related to cellular chemistry.

	Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) Diagnosis - The Doctors Lounge(TM)
		The diseases that may be confused with CLL are prolymphocytic leukemia (PLL), the leukemic phase of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (mantle cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, or splenic lymphoma with circulating villous lymphocytes), and hairy cell leukemia (HCL).
		The requirement that the blood lymphocytosis must be sustained to diagnose CLL was introduced to exclude those conditions in which blood lymphocyte counts return to normal after a few weeks, such as infectious mononucleosis, pertussis, and toxoplasmosis.
		Multidrug resistance gene Approximately 40% of patients with CLL have overexpression of the multidrug resistance gene (MDR1).

	Leukemia: Chronic Lymphocytic (CLL) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a cancer in the bone marrow.
		Also, as the CLL cells increase in the blood and bone marrow, there is less room for healthy white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets.
		Survival varies from 1 to 20 years, depending on the stage of disease when it is diagnosed and the growth rate of the malignant cells.

		Since your diagnosis, you may already know that CLL is a type of blood cancer in which too many white blood cells (lymphocytes) collect in the bone marrow, blood, lymph tissue, and other organs of the body.
		Although the first response to chemotherapy may have been good, the leukemia cells of a patient with CLL may begin to resist treatment, allowing the disease to progress.
		This is common in the treatment of patients with CLL, especially in advanced cases.

	Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)
		Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a condition characterized by an accumulation of abnormal white blood cells or lymphocytes in the blood and the bone marrow.
		Bone-marrow and stem-cell transplantation procedures developed at the Hutchinson Center are largely responsible for boosting the five-year survival rates for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) from 14 percent in the 1960s to nearly 75 percent today.
		A major research focus of this effort is the development of stem-cell transplants that do not require that the patient's marrow be destroyed with high-dose radiation and chemotherapy prior to infusion of donor cells.

	CLL Research Foundation
		Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common form of leukemia in the Western Hemisphere and accounts for nearly 30% of all reported leukemias.
		Our foundation is a charitable nonprofit foundation, with national scope, dedicated solely to raising funds for CLL research.
		We are unique in that we are able to direct 100% of public contributions received to funding research due to separate administrative grants committed to cover our overhead.

		Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) affects the B lymphocytes and causes immunosuppression, failure of the bone marrow, and invasion of malignant (cancerous) cells into organs.
		The incidence is about 2 per 100,000 and increases with age (90% of cases are found in people over 50).
		Recently, several new drugs, including alemtuzumab (Campath) -- which is an antibody against the surface of CLL cells -- has been approved for treatment of patients with CLL who have failed fludarabine.
