 | | Lymphocytes are made in the bone marrow and by other organs of the lymph system. | | | The use of biological therapy (using the body's immune system to fight cancer) is being tested in clinical trials. | | | Radiation for CLL usually comes from a machine outside the body (external radiation therapy). |

| | Leukemic phase of B-cell lymphomas mimicking chronic lymphocytic leukemia and variants at presentation. | | | Atypical morphologic features in CLL seem to be a marker of aggressive clinical behavior. | | | Thus although the morphology of these six cases resembled CLL or variants, and immunophenotyping by flow cytometry showed overlapping features, genetic studies enabled distinction of these leukemic non-Hodgkin lymphoma from chronic lymphocytic leukemia or variants. |
