Chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common leukemia in the Western world. Introduction of novel targeted therapies resulted in a significant paradigm shift in the treatment of CLL in recent years, leading to improved patient outcomes and arguably limited the role of cellular therapies. However, remaining unmet needs, in particular patients with high-risk disease (those with TP53 aberrations or complex karyotype) and those progressing on novel agents, justify continued interest in cellular therapies in this disease, including allogeneic cell transplantation (HCT) and chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells. Here, we summarize the current state of affairs in this field.
