摘要: Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) has several unique features that distinguish it from other cancers. Most CLL tumour cells are inert and arrested in G0/G1 of the cell cycle there is only a small proliferative compartment; however, progressive accumulation malignant will ultimately lead to symptomatic disease. Pathogenic mechanisms have been elucidated involve multiple external (for example, microenvironmental stimuli antigenic drive) internal (genetic epigenetic) events crucial transformation, progression evolution CLL. Our growing understanding biology allowing translation targets biological classifiers into clinical practice.
