Living With CLL
For people living with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), the landscape has changed dramatically over the past decade. Fortunately, patients in and around Los Angeles, from the Westside to the Inland Empire, have access to breakthrough treatments and specialists helping to transform the approach to managing the blood cancer.
Much of that progress has been driven by the development of targeted therapies, with a specific type known as BTK inhibitors becoming increasingly important for CLL treatment.
“In terms of BTK inhibitors, there are different generations and different profiles,” Dr. George Yaghmour, a hematologist at USC Norris Cancer Center, tells SurvivorNet. Specialists in the Southern California area can help patients understand those different profiles and decide which drug works best in their case.
To help local patients navigate CLL, SurvivorNet has developed an LA‑centered resource hub that highlights CLL specialists and treatment leaders throughout the region. Whether someone is seeking care near major medical centers in Santa Monica and Hollywood or exploring options in the Valley or Orange County, the hub is designed to make it easier to connect with trusted experts and stay informed.
Our goal is to bring clarity and connection, and to instill confidence that you and your loved ones can make informed treatment decisions.
