The CLL Society has been in the news lately. See my brief interview with the American Journal of Managed Care (AJMC) on educating ourselves as patients and also coverage by MedPage of our research presented at ASH 2018 here. We are making an impact and improving how patients are cared for.
In our interview from ERIC 2018 in Barcelona Dr. Jennifer Brown explains how the diagnosis of CLL is not always straightforward.
