Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2023 To 2033

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is characterized by the accumulation of mature B cells that are typically CD5-positive. These cells proliferate clonally in various body parts, including the blood, bone marrow, lymph nodes, and spleen. The ability to produce these clonal B cells may originate during the early hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) stage, suggesting that the initial event leading to CLL may involve multipotent, self-renewing HSCs. The survival of CLL cells relies heavily on a supportive microenvironment that includes components like macrophages, T cells, and stromal follicular dendritic cells. These elements provide the necessary signals for activating vital survival and pro-proliferative pathways in the transformed cells. To sustain the survival of CLL cells, this microenvironment secretes crucial proteins such as chemokines, cytokines, and angiogenic factors, which interact with leukemic cells through specific surface receptors and adhesion molecules. · ...
