Established Prognostic Factors Associated With Inferior Survival. Advanced stage at diagnosis Short lymphocyte doubling time Diffuse pattern of bone marrow infiltration Advanced age/males Abnormal karyotype High serum levels of ß 2 -microglobulin. Summary: Prognostic Factors in CLL.

Established Prognostic Factors Associated With Inferior Survival • Advanced stage at diagnosis • Short lymphocyte doubling time • Diffuse pattern of bone marrow infiltration • Advanced age/males • Abnormal karyotype • High serum levels of ß2-microglobulin
Summary: Prognostic Factors in CLL • Various prognostic markers predict for disease progression and survival in CLL: • -2 microglobulin • IgVH gene mutation • CD38 • ZAP-70 • Current challenges • Defining and validating prognostic significance of markers • Identifying which are readily available and reliable • Addressing use in clinical management of patients
Problems with Current Studies • “Uni-factorial” • Do not take into account the impact of other prognostic factors • Small patient numbers • Retrospective design • Selection bias • Survival from date of initial diagnosis, not date of test • Not uniformly treated

Final Thoughts • CLL prognosis is multi-factorial: • Avoid interpretation of individual prognostic factors in isolation. • Therapeutic dissection: • Let the treatment outcome tell you what factors are truly important. • Only possible when patients are treated homogenously, with the best available therapy.
