Welcome to the path that
could lead to a cure for CLL
What is CLL?
The most common type of adult leukemia, CLL (chronic lymphocytic
leukemia) is caused by the
accumulation of lymphocytes in the blood stream, the bone marrow, and
in lymph nodes. The progress of the disease varies widely among
patients.
Is CLL curable?
There is no cure for CLL. Some treatments show promise but research
has not yet provided a way to match treatment with blood counts and
other diagnostic tests with certainty.
Why a CLL Patient Database?
Public records do not relate the number of cases to age at
diagnosis and other important treatment and research factors. Patients
need a way to track their own blood cell counts and treatment history.
The CLL PDB helps patients, their doctors and medical researchers.
How can you help?
If you are a patient or know one check out the facts on the web
site about our organization, Patient Databases, and how the PDB
works, The Database. Patients should
Register
and
contribute their data to help find a cure.
