TLDR
Chemoimmunotherapy with fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab improves progression-free survival and overall survival in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, and the results suggest that the choice of a specific first-line treatment changes the natural course of chronic lymphocytes.

Ibrutinib versus ofatumumab in previously treated chronic lymphoid leukemia.

TL;DR: Ibrutinib, as compared with ofatumumab, significantly improved progression-free survival, overall survival, and response rate among patients with previously treated CLL or SLL.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ibrutinib as initial therapy for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia

TL;DR: Ibrutinib was superior to chlorambucil in previously untreated patients with CLL or small lymphocytic lymphoma, as assessed by progression-free survival, overall survival, response rate, and improvement in hematologic variables.

Genomic Aberrations and Survival in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

TL;DR: Genomic aberrations in chronic lymphocytic leukemia are important independent predictors of disease progression and survival and have implications for the design of risk-adapted treatment strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unmutated Ig V(H) genes are associated with a more aggressive form of chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors sequenced the Ig V(H) genes of the tumor cells of 84 patients with CLL and correlated their findings with clinical features, finding that the lack of somatic mutation and trisomy 12 was associated with a less favorable prognosis.

Clinical staging of chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

TL;DR: The proposed staging system was an equally accurate indicator for survival when applied to two other previously published studies of large series of patients and sex and age were shown to be poor predictors of survival after adjustment for stage.
