Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma

Physicians in the US, Germany, and France show gaps in their knowledge of the treatment of of refractory/relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and mantle Cell lymphoma (MCL).

Undetectable measurable residual disease rates can help predict progression-free survival in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, according to an analysis.

The latest study findings suggest that acalabrutinib may be a safer option than ibrutinib for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, offering a lower risk of serious cardiovascular and infection-related adverse events.

A recent study has found that higher serum levels of B-cell activating factor and anti-CCP3 are associated with a reduced risk of developing chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), suggesting potential biomarkers for assessing CLL risk.

The authors said their findings also suggest AXL inhibition might be an important therapeutic strategy.
