Chronic lymphocytic leukemia natural history

Prognosis
The prognosis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia depends on:


 * The stage of chronic lymphocytic leukemia, whether lymphocytes are spread throughout the bone marrow, whether the chronic lymphocytic leukemia progresses to lymphoma or prolymphocytic leukemia.


 * Treatment response: Whether the chronic lymphocytic leukemia patient gets better with treatment or has come back.


 * The patient's general health.
