- W1519377716 abstract "The introduction of new therapies has opened new therapeutic hopes in the field of treating Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). CLL is extremely heterogeneous in its clinical course; some patients live for decades with no need for treatment, whereas others develop aggressive clinical course with a survival of less than 2-3 years. The decision to treat CLL patients should be guided by clinical staging, the presence of symptoms and disease activity (Diehl et al. 1999). Once the diagnosis of CLL has been made, the treating physician is faced with the decision of not only how to treat the patient, but when to initiate therapy. In general practice, newly diagnosed patients with asymptomatic early-stage disease (Rai 0, Binet A) are monitored without therapy until they have evidence of disease progression. Studies from the French Cooperative Group on CLL, (Dighiero et al. 1998) the Cancer and Leukemia Group B,(Shustik et al. 1988) the Spanish Group PETHEMA, (Montserrat et al. 1996) and the Medical Research Council (Catovsky et al. 1988) confirm that the use of alkylating agents in patients with early-stage disease does not prolong survival (Group. 1999). Patients at intermediate (I and II) or high-risk (III and IV) according to the modified Rai classification or Binet stage B or C usually require the initiation of treatment at presentation. Some of these patients (in particular Rai intermediate risk or Binet stage B) can still be monitored without therapy until they exhibit evidence of progressive or symptomatic disease. During the past decade there have been major advances in understanding the pathogenesis of the disease and more efficient treatments have been developed. CLL treatments have seen the transition from single-agent alkyator-based therapies to nucleoside analogs, combination chemotherapy, and recently to monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) and chemoimmunotherapy. The use of immunotherapy is emerging as an exciting modality with significant potential to advance the treatment of B-cell malignancies. In the field of lymphoproliferative diseases rituximab, followed by the anti-CD52 antibody alemtuzumab, has changed the therapeutic landscape of B-cell cancers, particularly in patients with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) with more recent indications in the setting of CLL (Cheson 2006). Novel therapies are being evaluated both in pre-clinical studies and in clinical trials. These treatments include new MAbs such as ofatumumab, GA101, veltuzumab, epratuzumab," @default.
