What Does ATL Stand For?
ATL stands for Adult T Cell Leukemia
ATL, or Adult T Cell Leukemia, is a rare and aggressive form of leukemia characterized by the proliferation of activated T cells. It is often associated with the human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) infection. Patients may experience a range of symptoms, including lymphadenopathy, skin lesions, and various hematological abnormalities. Diagnosis typically involves blood tests, bone marrow examination, and imaging studies. Treatment options may include chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and supportive care, but the prognosis can vary significantly based on the disease's stage and individual response to therapy.
