简要总结

The diagnosis and treatment of CLL may have a great impact on the quality of life (QoL) due to a variety of reasons including disease-related symptoms, infection, effects of therapy and the emotional, socio-economic, and functional effects of living with an 'incurable' illness. The main aim of any treatment is to maximize QoL by inducing remission with minimal short- and long-term toxicity. Balancing disease and symptom control with QoL in elderly patients receiving CLL therapy regimens can be challenging. There is little published QoL data in elderly CLL patients receiving the FCR (fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, rituximab) immunochemotherapy regimen. Our prior study showed no significant difference in health related QoL for first-line therapy of CLL with monotherapy between chlorambucil, fludarabine and cladribine (Mulligan, SP et al. Leuk Lymphoma, 2014).
