Abstract
Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) can vary in severity, with some patients requiring chemotherapy while others may not require treatment at all. Rituximab has been evaluated as a first-line treatment option for CLL in combination with fludarabine and cyclophos-phamide in patients requiring chemotherapy, and a licence application has been made. In this article, we consider the evidence for rituximab, and its potential place in therapy. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
利妥昔单抗治疗慢性淋巴细胞白血病
慢性淋巴细胞白血病(CLL)的严重程度各不相同,一些患者需要化疗,而另一些患者可能根本不需要治疗。利妥昔单抗已被评估为需要化疗的CLL患者联合氟达拉滨和环磷酰胺的一线治疗选择,并已提出许可申请。在本文中,我们考虑了利妥昔单抗的证据,以及它在治疗中的潜在地位。版权所有©2008 John Wiley &儿子,有限公司
