Hairy Cell Leukemia

Hairy cell leukemia is a rare type of slow-growing cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. It is named after the "hairy" appearance of the leukemia cells. Symptoms may include an enlarged spleen, fever, night sweats, fatigue, and weight loss. Treatment options may include surgery, chemotherapy, and targeted antibody therapy. Early detection and treatment are important for managing the condition.
