Recently, an international index for prognosis of the disease was developed, the Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia - International Prognostic Index (CLL-IPI), which includes these genetic alterations, serum β2-micr
Introduction: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is an indolent disease most common in elderly adults. While chemo-immunotherapy is a standard first-line (1L) therapy for physically fit patients, treatment options for all CLL patients have greatly increased with the approval of novel agents. Thus,...
