Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia?
I have to write a report about it for school. The guide paper says that you have to include the common name and medical name of the type of cancer you are talking about.
I don’t know what common name and medical name is and google doesn’t help one bit for me.
If you know the answer or can at least tell me which site it is on, thanks!
Definition
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a type of cancer of the blood and bone marrow — the spongy tissue inside bones where blood cells are made.
The term "chronic" in chronic lymphocytic leukemia comes from the fact that it typically progresses more slowly than other types of leukemia. The "lymphocytic" in chronic lymphocytic leukemia comes from the cells affected by the disease — a group of white blood cells called lymphocytes, which help your body fight infection.
About 15,000 people receive a diagnosis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia each year in the United States, according to the National Cancer Institute. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia most commonly affects older adults, though it may occur at any age and rarely can affect children.
