Re: Immunotherapy for long term control of CLL?

[Guest guest]

,

Do you mean trials using something to either enhance or

suppress the immune system? I think Prednisone is used to

depress the immune system and Vitamin C is an example of

something that enhances the immune system. It seems I have

read that enhancing the immune system might cause the growth

of WBC so maybe you are referring to depressing the immune

system.

Can you explain what they are using in other countries or

provide a link.

Thanks

Dave,

Dr. Keating at MD stated that long term control of CLL

would be by immunotherapy. Here are two of such links--

I have always found that " enhancing " or " depressing " the

immune system is still in the jury room. Besides, there are

no sure ways to do it.
