Abstract
Despite significant advances in the frontline treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), patients eventually experience disease progression. Treatment selection of relapsed disease depends upon a variety of factors, including patient age, performance status, duration of response to initial therapy, type of prior therapy, disease-related manifestations and genetic abnormalities within the CLL cells. This presentation offers synthetic overview of the options in this field.Entities:
