A Psychological Perspective: Dealing with the CLL Emotional Roller Coaster
Anxiety, anger, fatigue, depression, are just some of the emotions/symptoms we may experience after diagnosis. Join us to talk about what CLL patients may face and how to manage the emotional roller coaster. Register here.
New this week!
PI3K inhibitors have been largely neglected in CLL due to the tremendous success of ibrutinib, a BTK inhibitor. Both classes of drugs block the B cell receptor and are very effective in controlling CLL, but the side effects are different. At ASH 2018, Dr. Davids shares the latest encouraging research on duvelisib.
