摘要
Diagnosis and treatment of chronic lymphatic leukaemia (CLL) are currently undergoing great change. New knowledge of prognosis factors and the numerous new therapeutic procedures now available, such as purine analogues, high-dose treatment and monoclonal antibodies are making major contributions to this progress. As a consequence, the options for treatment of CLL are considerably more diverse now than a few years ago, and now include procedures that take into account age and risk. At the same time, it should be emphasized that many important questions regarding the treatment of CLL remain unresolved. It is anticipated that these questions will be answered over the coming few years by including patients in multicentre studies like those being carried out by the German CLL study group.
