Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia: An Overview
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. As research progresses, various treatment options are becoming available.
Treatment Strategies for CLL
- Biologic Therapy: Biologic treatments are designed to utilize the body’s immune system to fight cancer.
- Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors: Drugs such as erlotinib, gefitinib, and imatinib target specific pathways in cancer cells.
- Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell Therapy: This innovative approach involves modifying a patient’s T-cells to better recognize and attack cancer cells.
Promising results from clinical trials of chimeric immunoreceptors and artificial T-cell receptors suggest a bright future for CLL treatments.
