Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL): Understanding the Disease and Its Management

By Eyre, Toby A., Jasani, Parag, Roeker, Lindsey E. – Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most prevalent form of leukemia in the Western world, accounting for approximately 25% of all new leukemia diagnoses.

The Evolution of CLL Understanding

In recent years, there has been significant progress in understanding the pathophysiology and genetics of CLL. This increased understanding has enabled healthcare professionals to better predict clinical outcomes for patients using cytogenetic and molecular profiling.

Older adults are typically affected by CLL, which initially follows an indolent course. However, the development of novel targeted therapies has led to more personalized management options for patients.

This comprehensive guide covers the following topics:

• Epidemiology and Etiology: Exploring the prevalence and causes of CLL
• Molecular Biology and Genetics: Delving into the genetic factors contributing to CLL
• Diagnosis, Staging, and Prognosis: Understanding the diagnostic process and predicting patient outcomes
• Management: Personalized treatment options and novel targeted therapies
• Research Directions: The future of CLL research and treatment

Published by S. Karger Publishing, this 2nd edition (May 23, 2023) is a valuable resource for healthcare professionals seeking to improve their understanding of CLL and its management.
