40 year - Israeli CLL Study

[Guest guest]

Israeli CLL Study Group patient data were analyzed. Of the

1325 patients, 221 were diagnosed during the time period

1968-1989, 456 during 1990-1999 and 639 during 2000-2010.

" There were increased proportions of CLL patients diagnosed

in early stages and at older age during the last decades,

however survival rates according to sex, age or stage

remained stable.

CLL continues to be an incurable disease affecting survival

even in patients diagnosed at early stages. Survival benefit

shown in recent trials using chemo-immunotherapy has still

to be proven in wider general practice. "
