CLL in Canadian Cancer Study

[Guest guest]

A Canadian Cancer study has found that there was no apparent

improvement in survival prospects during the first five

years after diagnosis, with an estimated five-year relative

survival ratio remaining at just under 80 per cent.

" In the case of CLL, the findings suggest doctors and

researchers shouldn't focus all of their attention on five-

year survival rates, since they are fairly stable, but look

for ways to prevent later recurrence of the disease. " , said

Dr. , a co-author of the report and vice-

president of cancer control for the Canadian Partnership

Against Cancer
