SOHO 2024 | Advice for physicians when selecting patients with CLL for treatment with BTK inhibitors

Catherine Coombs, MD, UCI Health, Orange, CA, underlines the factors physicians should consider when selecting patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) for treatment with BTK inhibitors. Dr Coombs encourages physicians to consider the patient’s risk for toxicity, specifically focusing on cardiac risk, and suggests tests physicians can conduct to explore this. She suggests patients with high-risk profiles should use alternative therapies such as venetoclax. This interview took place at the Twelfth Annual Meeting of the Society of Hematologic Oncology (SOHO 2024) congress in Houston, TX.
