Modern and conventional prognostic markers of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia in the everyday haematological practice

Abstract

The impact of modern prognostic markers on clinical course of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) in everyday practice has been not yet well defined, especially in large series of patients. Therefore, the goal of this study was to assess the influence of conventional as well as modern prognostic factors on overall survival (OS) and time to therapy (TTT) of patients with CLL.
