Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL): First-Line Treatment

Abstract

Abstract 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 intended to summarize the current knowledge on first-line treatment of CLL.
