BSH 2017 | Factors to consider in frontline and relapsed CLL before treatment

Barbara Eichhorst, MD from the University of Cologne, Cologne, Germany gives an overview factors that need to be considered when treating frontline and relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Dr Eichhorst explains that there are many factors to consider, such as the state of the disease, fitness, co-morbidities and the genetic profile of the patient.
