| chronic lymphocytic leukemia | term type: main entry term part of speech: noun number: singular reliability code: 10 definition: most common type of leukemia, and the major type of lymphoproliferative disorders in which too many white blood cells are produced in the bone marrow, lymph system, and blood. The onset of symptoms is slow, with about a quarter of newly diagnosed patients having no symptoms. It is not uncommon for the disease to be discovered during an examination for some other complaint. When symptoms are present, they can include a general feeling of ill health, fatigue, lack of energy, fever, loss of appetite and weight, or night sweats. Diagnostic procedures include blood tests and bone marrow biopsy. Treatment options are chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Chronic lymphoid leukemia is most often seen in people over the age of 60, affecting two to three times the number of men as women. Chronic lymphoid leukemia results from an acquired (not inherited) injury to the DNA of a single cell in the bone marrow. (en) context (x): I_cll.txt origination date: 12/06/2002 |

| leucemia linfocítica crónica | reliability code: 10 term type: main entry term part of speech: noun gender: feminine number: singular definition: tipo más frecuente de leucemia y de trastorno linfoproliferativo, caracterizada por un aumento en la producción de leucocitos de la médula ósea, del sistema linfático y de la sangre. Los síntomas no aparecen inmediatamente, aunque la cuarta parte de los pacientes son asintomáticos, de ahí que sea habitual que se descubra la enfermedad en la exploración de otro tipo de molestia. Si hay síntomas, suele darse un estado generalizado de enfermedad, cansancio, falta de vitalidad, fiebre, pérdida de peso y apetito y sudores nocturnos. Las técnicas diagnósticas comprenden análisis de sangre y biopsia de médulas ósea. El tratamiento de elección lo constituyen quimioterapia y radioterapia. La leucemia linfoide crónica es más frecuente en personas mayores de 60 años y presenta una incidencia de más del 60% en varones que en mujeres. La leucemia linfocítica crónica tiene su origen en una alteración cromosómica no hereditaria en una célula de la médula ósea. (es) context (x): E_lelicr.txt origination date: 21/01/2002 |
