Playing CLL / SLL Chess: Planning Your Therapy Moves

In science and medicine, information is constantly changing and may become out-of-date as new data emerge. All articles and interviews are informational only, should never be considered medical advice, and should never be acted on without review with your health care team.

Recorded October 26, 2022

Treating CLL / SLL is a little like a chess game, as one needs to always be thinking a few moves ahead. Most treatments for CLL / SLL are not curative, and when relapse occurs it is important to have a plan in place with some options that can knock back the disease again.

Join CLL / SLL expert Dr. Susan O’Brien, and 20-year CLL survivor Terry Evans, as they explain the CLL / SLL treatment landscape, what is known and unknown, and describe how to better participate in shared decision-making with your healthcare provider by increasing your knowledge and having a plan in place for your future treatment moves.
