| Abstract
|
:
|
Up-to-date picture of CLL and how to better treat patients inflicted with the disease. New information on developments in the molecular pathogenesis of this disease impacts how physicians approach and treat patients with CLL. The various predisposing factors for the disease are addressed along with current and future treatment modalities and recommended standards of care.
