Symptoms and Diagnosis:

Symptoms may include unexplained bruising or bleeding, frequent infections, bone pain, fatigue, and swollen lymph nodes. Diagnosis involves blood tests, bone marrow aspiration, and imaging.

Treatment and Prognosis:

Treatment options include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and stem cell transplantation. The prognosis varies depending on the specific type and stage of the cancer.
