Pathogenesis of intractable chronic lymphocytic leukemia (ICLL)

Abstract:
About 23% of all patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) are resistant to chemotherapy and have intractable CLL. Recent work showed the usefulness of splenectomy for the treatment of ICLL patients. The peripheral blood lymphocytes of ICLL patients were radioresistant in vitro. This reaction provided a diagnostic test for ICLL. Normal lymphocytes are highly radiosensitive but become radioresistant on the addition of phytohemagglutinin or other mitogens. These findings suggest the hypotheses: ICLL arises from splenic lymphocytes which have reacted to an immune stimulus; ICLL is a discrete disease with its own pathogenesis, diagnosis and therapy.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

Disorders of Leukocytes
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune system...
