Over the past decade, treatment recommendations for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) have shifted from traditional chemoimmunotherapy to targeted therapies.
Multiple new therapies are commercially available, and in many cases a lack of randomized clinical trial data makes selection of the optimal treatment for each patient challenging.
Additionally, many patients continue to receive chemoimmunotherapy in the US, suggesting a gap between guidelines and real-world practice.
The Lymphoma Research Foundation convened a workshop comprised of a panel of CLL/SLL experts in the US to develop consensus recommendations for selection and sequencing of therapies for patients with CLL/SLL in the US.
Herein, the recommendations are compiled for use as a practical clinical guide for treating providers caring for patients with CLL/SLL, which complement existing guidelines by providing a nuanced discussion relating how our panel of CLL/SLL experts in the US care for patients in a real-world environment.
