Advances in treating chronic lymphocytic leukemia. F1000Prime Rep. 2014;6:65 Authors: Tausch E, Mertens D, Stilgenbauer S Abstract Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most prevalent type of leukemia, affects mostly elderly CLL patients, and is incurable without allogeneic transplantation. Although classic chemo(immuno)therapy is still the standard of care for patients in need of treatment, this paradigm might change in the near future with the advent of new therapeutic agents targeting major pathogenic pathways in CLL.
