What is the prognosis with CLL?
Dr Mary Ann Anderson, Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre & Royal Melbourne Hospital, Melbourne, Australia
Chronic Lymphocytic Lymphoma - CLL - is a chronic disease that many can live with for many years and may die of other causes. For others it can be more life threatening and they will need treatment.
Genetic testing has helped in the treatment of patients by learning which patients have a more aggressive disease and which people don’t.
