Abstract

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) has considerable change since the time clinical staging was introduced in clinical practice in 1975. Over the years, the prognostic factors analyses in CLL have expanded, and thus treatment considerably changed. Based on discovery of specific mutations, several targeted therapies have been introduced. This progress is continuing and finally chimeric antigen receptor against T cells (CART) is in the process of being developed. This review is an attempt to summarize the major benchmarks in the CART therapy of CLL.
