What are the challenges faced when selecting frontline treatment for CLL?

Jacqueline Barrientos

During the 62nd American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition, the Lymphoma Hub spoke to Jacqueline Barrientos, Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, New York, US, about the challenges faced when selecting frontline treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

CLL is a heterogeneous disease, so there are several challenges. Barrientos underlines the importance of doing the prognostic markers before starting therapy. She also gives an overview of the treatment options available for patients with CLL and explains how to select the right treatment.
