| Abstract: |
This section on chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is from a comprehensive reference book that covers the full spectrum of cancers in the blood, bone marrow, and lymphatic system, including leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. The authors note that CLL is characterized by the accumulation of monoclonal malignant B cells in the blood, lymph nodes, liver, spleen, and bone marrow. This section offers six chapters: epidemiology, risk factors, and classification; molecular biology, pathology, and cytogenetics of CLL; clinical features and making the diagnosis; the indications for treatment and the recommended treatment approach for CLL; response criteria, prognosis, and follow-up in patients with CLL; and aggressive transformation and paraneoplastic complications of CLL. The chapters include full coverage of all treatment options such as chemotherapy, monoclonal antibodies, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The chapters are illustrated with black-and-white clinical pictures and photomicrographs. Each chapter concludes with an extensive list of references. |
