Description

Clinical prognosis and analysis of causes of death of 75 CLL cases were evaluated. Median survival was 43.7 months. Major causes of death were infection (36%), primary CLL (16%), secondary malignancies (16%), cardiac failure (8%), brain hemorrhage (7%) and so on. There were 10 deaths (13%) with second or double cancers and 2 deaths with malignant lymphomas. In terms of deaths from CLL complicated by cancer, there were 4 deaths from stomach cancer, 3 from lung cancer, 1 from liver, pancreas, or prostata cancer. Cancer risk, which did not vary according to initial treatment category, was also constant across all time intervals after CLL diagnosis.
