Hairy cell leukemia

Hairy cell leukemia,(HCL), is an uncommon,

but, distinct, form, of chronic, B-lymphoproliferative, disorders,

characterized, by an indolent,course, peripheral cytokine's,

and splenomegaly, due to the presence, of characteristic,

neo plastic B lymphocytes, in the, blood,

Blood tests,and a,bone marrow biopsy,

can detect, hairy cells,

bone marrow, needs, to continually, produce, new, blood, cells,

of, all, types, to replace, old, ones,

Red blood cells

Red blood cells, live, about,120 days, platelets,

about, seven, days, and most, white, blood, cells,

a day, or less, before,they're, used, and absorbed,

by, your, body,

There's no limit, to the, number, of blood, cell, transfusions,

you, can, have,complications, can, sometimes, arise,

with multiple, transfusions,

The treatment, options, may, depend, on,

Treatment

Treatment, often, results, in a long-lasting, remission,

period during, which, some, or all, of the signs, and symptoms,

of the leukemia,are,gone,

If the leukemia, returns, after, it has, been in remission,

restatement, often, causes, another, remission,

Hairy cell leukemia, can cause, the spleen, to become,

enlarged, and painful,

Patients, with, swollen, spleens, that, are, in danger,

of rupturing, may, undergo, a splenectomy--surgical, treatment,

to remove, the spleen,

Chemotherapy, is a cancer, treatment, that, uses, drugs,

to stop, the growth, of cancer, cells, either, by killing,

the cells, or by stopping, the cells, from dividing,

Chemotherapy

When, chemotherapy, is taken, by mouth, or injected, into,

a vein,or muscle,the drugs, enter, the bloodstream,

and can, reach, cancer, cells, throughout, the body,

new, treatments, are effective, at putting, hairy cell leukemia,

in remission, for years, however, there's, no cure, for this,

disease.

Hairy cell leukemia, prognosis, depends, on the growth,

of cancer, cells, as well, as the response, of the patient,

Prognosis

the prognosis, for hairy cell leukemia, is quite, positive,

as most, patients, get, back, to leading, a normal, or near,

normal, life,

The types, of leukemia, tend, to be linked,

with certain, age,groups.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia, is most, common,

during, childhood,

and in early, adulthood, although, it is also, diagnosed,

in adults, 30 ,years, old and older,

Chronic leukemia, is more, common, between, ages 40, and 70,

and is rare, among, young, people, MDS, is most, often, found,

in patients, nearing ,their 60s, and 70s.,

there, are, always, exceptions,

Bone marrow

Bone marrow, has a critical, function,

It contains, special, cells, called, stem, cells,

which are precursors, of other, cells,

Stem, cells, in the bone, marrow, produce, blood cells

red, cells, white, cells, and platelets,

that, eventually, leave, the bone marrow, and enter,

your, bloodstream,

Stem cells, also make, more, stem cells,

Chronic

Hairy cell leukemia, (HCL), is a chronic, lymphoid, leukemia,

recognized, as a clone, B-cell, malignancy,

It presents, with, abnormal, cells, which ,have, hair like,

cytoplasm, projections, on the surface,

(under light microscopy),

by which, the disease, was named, in 1966,

by Shriek and Donnelly,

It is, a rare, form, of leukemia, with an incidence,
