What are the treatment options in chronic lymphocytic leukemia?
Depending on your age and stage of disease, treatment varies. It can be treated with simple tablets on elderly patients. Where as in middle aged patients, (55-70) various chemotherapy options are available. The purpose of treatment in these patients is to keep the disease under control as like in other low grade lymphomas. Usually the disease once treated, remains under control for few years, before it progresses again, at which time it can be treated with the same or different drugs depending on the condition.
