If you or a loved one were diagnosed with Hairy Cell Leukemia or Leukaemic Reticuloendotheliosis after being exposed to Roundup herbicides, you may be entitled to recover compensation from a Hairy Cell Leukemia lawsuit case or settlement claim.
Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is a rare form of chronic leukemia (or blood cancer) and non-hodgkin lymphoma that begins in the bone marrow (where blood cells are made) when DNA or genetic material of developing b-cells become damaged and replicate uncontrollably.
With hairy cell leukemia, the bone marrow makes too many white blood cells that gives the B lymphocytes the appearance of having short hair-like projections. Hairy cell leukemia often spreads to the spleen or liver.
Hairy cell leukaemia is a slow-growing cancer and accounts for about 1% of all non-hodgkin’s lymphoma cases and about 2% of all leukemias in the U.S. It is estimated that about 1,000 hairy cell leukemia cases are diagnosed each year in the United States.
