Abstract
|
|
|
|
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is a genetically heterogeneous disease, and a complex set of genetic alterations is associated with its pathogenesis. CLL is the most common leukemia in the western countries, whereas it is rare in Asia, including Korea. The prognostic models integrate the traditional staging systems developed by Rai et al. and Binet et al. with biochemical and genetic markers. With the advent of molecular biology, a variety of targeted agents, including anti-CD20 antibodies, inhibitors of BCR signaling pathway, and BCL-2 inhibitors, have been introduced, which has changed the landscape of CLL treatment greatly. This review will focus on the risk stratification and the management of CLL in the era of novel small molecules.
