CHRONIC LYMPHOCYTIC LEUKEMIA Treatment algorithms in CLL
CLL therapy has changed dramatically over the last few years. This development has been aided by progress in 2 areas: (1) a better understanding of CLL biology (and with it discovery and characterization of new prognostic markers); and (2) emergence of novel agents. The combined impact of advances in these areas is leading to new concepts and approaches in CLL therapy. Treatment of CLL has been...
متن کاملChronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) — Staging and Prognosis
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) affects the B-cells of the immune system and is, as the most common leukemia in adults, an important hematological differential diagnosis. It often hardly progresses for years and therefore a CLL does not always need immediate therapy. In the past years especially, a lot has happened with regard to diagnostic options and treatment, so that being informed about...
متن کاملMore ZAP for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
Antigen stimulation of the leukemic clone is increasingly implicated in the pathogenesis of CLL. Chen and colleagues provide evidence that expression of ZAP-70 in CLL B cells renders IgM signaling more effective and thereby could contribute to the more rapidly progressive clinical course of ZAP-70-positive CLL.

متن کاملChronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL): first-line treatment.
For the past ten years, there has been a dynamic development of new therapeutic compounds and prognostic parameters for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Hematologists and oncologists are challenged to use these new possibilities for an optimized, risk- and fitness-adapted treatment strategy, with the goal of achieving long-term remissions and preserving a good quality of life. This review is...
