Abstract
Hairy cell leukemia is a rare B-cell neoplasm. When treated with either pentostatin or cladribine, complete and durable remissions can be secured and life expectancy for most patients is normal. A small minority of patients require alternative treatment with monoclonal antibodies or immunotoxins. Patients who attain a complete response to first-line treatment have the best prognosis.Entities:
