Abstract

To date, the majority of trials on chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) have focused on patients considerably younger than the median age of onset for CLL.

Practices, however, have subsequently changed following the results of several Phase III trials. Given the potential of these new immunotherapy regimens, selecting the right treatment for elderly CLL patients is still challenging.
