Risk Stratification in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
The Role of the Clinical Laboratory
Risk Assessment

November 2008
This slide highlights the three key points that a laboratory needs to be aware of in evaluating patients with CLL.
First, one needs to reach an accurate and correct diagnosis.
Second, in today’s environment, risk assessment is critical in order to help clinicians provide the appropriate therapy and follow-up for these patients.
Finally, there is the assessment of outcome and potentially the detection of minimal residual disease. As I mentioned previously, the diagnostic and outcome assessment were previously discussed, and today we will be focusing on risk assessment.
