Treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia
Different types of treatment available for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Some treatments are standard (the currently used treatment) and some are being tested in clinical trials. Before starting treatment, patients should consider participating in a clinical trial.
A treatment clinical trial is a research study designed to improve current treatments or obtain information on new treatments for cancer patients. When clinical trials show that a new treatment is better than treatment “standard”, the new treatment may become standard.
