Chronic T-cell leukemia (TCL) is a rare type of cancer that affects T cells, which are white blood cells that play a vital role in the immune system. In TCL, abnormal T cells grow and divide uncontrollably, accumulating these cells in the blood and bone marrow. There are several subtypes of T-cell leukemia, including large granular lymphocytic leukemia (LGLL), T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL), adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL), and Sezary syndrome. Symptoms of T-cell leukemia may include recurrent infections from low numbers of infection-fighting white blood cells, bleeding or bruising easily, unexplained fevers, chills, or night sweats. The cause of chronic T-cell leukemia is not fully understood, but it results from genetic mutations in T-cells, which can lead to uncontrolled growth and division of these cells. Certain risk factors like race/ethnicity can increase a person’s chance of developing T-cell leukemia. ·        Chronic T-cell leukemia ...
