CHRONIC LYMPHOCYTIC LEUKEMIA: GENERAL IDEAS, ILLUSTRATION BY CLINICAL OBSERVATION

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is one of the most common types of leukemia. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is more common in men, the ratio of men and women who become ill is 2:1. Infectious complications are the main cause of death in patients with CLL. Mortality from infections is 30-50% of all fatal cases. Despite significant progress in therapy, CLL remains an incurable disease. The current goal of treatment is to increase the proportion of overall survival and progression-free survival with minimal toxicity. A clinical observation of a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and a good response to therapy according to the RFC scheme is presented.
