Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia of b-cell type - what does this mean

Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia of b-cell type is a type of cancer of the white blood cells that usually affects adults and is caused by the accumulation of too many b-cells in the blood and bone marrow. these abnormal b-cells do not function properly and can interfere with the production of healthy white blood cells.

What happens during the disease - chronic lymphocytic leukaemia of b-cell type

Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia of b-cell type is caused by a genetic mutation in the b-cells, which results in the uncontrolled growth of abnormal b-cells. these abnormal b-cells accumulate in the bone marrow, leading to an increased number of lymphocytes and a decrease in the number of healthy red and white blood cells. this results in a variety of symptoms, such as fatigue, anemia, and increased susceptibility to infections.
