Future Perspectives in the Treatment of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Author(s)Ricardo Parrondo, MD, Asher A. Chanan-Khan, MBBS, MD, Pooja Advani, MBBS, MD

Concluding their discussion, Drs Advani, Parrondo, and Chanan-Khan conclude that second-generation BTK inhibitors are the preferred first-line treatment in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia due to better efficacy and lower cardiovascular risk, with emerging therapies promising even better outcomes.
