Chronic leukemia is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. It is characterized by the overproduction of abnormal white blood cells, which can eventually crowd out healthy cells and lead to a range of symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, and an increased risk of infections. There are several synonyms for chronic leukemia, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), and myeloproliferative disorder (MPD). Each of these conditions has its own set of unique symptoms and treatment options, but they all fall under the umbrella of chronic leukemia and require ongoing medical care and support.
