Abstract

The chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) diagnosis increases with age. We do not know CLL incidence in Mexico. Some risk factors for developing CLL are the inherited predisposition, monoclonal lymphocytosis, history of cancer and, probably, some infections. The diagnosis is established with a complete medical history, physical examination, and laboratory tests, among them, cytogenetic ones. The treatment choice will depend on age, performance status, comorbidities, cytogenetic alterations, clinical stage. In Oncoguía de leucemia linfocítica crónica, we include the criteria to begin treatment, and the drugs approved internationally and in our country. Likewise, we comprise the response criteria to the treatment and the recommendations for the support treatment.
