Updated Guide to CLL Sources

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

An updated guide " Handout Listing CLL Info Sources.doc " (Tim

Klug's Listing of CLL Info Sources) is available online in

the files.

Group members with a ID may log-in via this link:

/files/ and click

on the name of the file to read, download or print it.

For those who do not have a ID, contact me and I'll

forward a copy to you directly.

The update primarily emphasizes Venkat's new article

of Oct 25 on CLL Topics Updates. highlights important

aspects of the " Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment

of chronic lymphocytic leukemia . . . from the International

Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia " , published in

2008. These guidelines are one of the two best medical

guidance sources for oncologists/hematologists dealing with

CLL (The other is the NCCN guidelines). The information is

technical, but comprehensive and well-organized. With some

effort, a patient can learn the material, thus benefiting

from definitive knowledge as you participate in decisions on

your care. The " . . .Guidelines. . . " would make an

excellent gift for your oncologist/hematologist.

provides a very useful discussion of this report, and her

Editorial at article’s end is full of good advice.

Regards,

Tim Klug
