Opinion statement

Remarkable progress in elucidating the biology of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) has been made over the last two decades. Improved understanding of CLL has lead to new prognostic tools and therapeutic options, and holds promise for eventually finding a cure for this disease. Challenges lie in incorporating the various treatment modalities, including chemotherapy, monoclonal antibodies, immunotherapeutic strategies and novel small molecules, into a comprehensive treatment strategy guided by the biological complexity of CLL.
