Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) has been 1 of the most dynamic fields of clinical research over the last 2 decades. Important advances in understanding the biology of CLL have led to the development of new prognostic and diagnostic tools. Concurrently, several recently approved new agents hold the potential to fundamentally change the management of this leukemia and have started to improve clinical outcomes for patients. This conceptual review summarizes the major recent insights regarding the biology of CLL, the technological advances that have allowed refinement of the prognostication of the clinical course, and the new therapeutic strategies that are currently under investigation to further ameliorate the outcome for patients with CLL.
慢性淋巴细胞白血病(CLL)是过去 20 年来临床研究中最具活力的领域之一。对 CLL 生物学的深入了解带来了新的预后和诊断工具的发展。与此同时,几种最近批准的新型药物具有从根本上改变这种白血病的治疗管理方式的潜力,并开始改善患者的临床结果。这篇概念综述总结了有关 CLL 生物学的主要最新见解、允许完善临床病程预后的技术进步,以及目前正在研究的新治疗策略,以进一步改善 CLL 患者的结果。
