This can lead to fatigue, swollen lymph nodes, and easy bruising or bleeding. CLL is a slowly progressing cancer affecting mainly the elderly
Acute Leukemia: An Overview
At the heart of acute leukemia lies a disruption of the genetic blueprint, the DNA that carries the instructions for building and maintaining healthy cells. When these instructions become corrupted, through mutations or deletions, the normal development and function of blood cells are derailed.
