Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia: The Basics
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a type of cancer that starts in bone marrow, the spongy tissue in the center of your bones where new blood cells are made.
There have been some incredible treatment developments in recent years, with more targeted drugs that keep the cancer under control for longer coming on the market.
Treatment may not be necessary right away, but if it is, options include a range of targeted therapies like BTK inhibitors, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or bone marrow (stem cell) transplant.
