Abstract

There has been tremendous progress in the identification of molecular and cellular markers that may predict the tendency for disease progression in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or detect minimal residual disease after therapy. These developments have created some uncertainty for clinicians with regard to the optimal incorporation of these novel markers into the daily management of CLL patients. Therefore, this article will attempt to summarize the current evidence with regard to novel biological markers in CLL. The recommendations of the recently revised National Cancer Institute guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of CLL as reported by the International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (IWCLL) [1] will be incorporated.
