Overview
Most patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia are initially asymptomatic. If left untreated, patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia may progress to develop weight loss, fever, and lymph nodes swelling. Common complications of chronic lymphocytic leukemia include immunodeficiency, warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia, and Richter's transformation. Prognosis is generally good, and the 5-year survival rate of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia is 81.7%.
Natural History, Complications and Prognosis
Natural History
- Most patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia are initially asymptomatic.
- If left untreated, patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia may progress to develop weight loss, fever, and lymph nodes swelling.
Complications
