Research Progress on Diagnosis and Treatment of B Cell Chronic Lymphoproliferative Disease--Review / 中国实验血液学杂志

ABSTRACT

The 2016 world health organization (WHO) classification of B cell chronic lymphoproliferative disease (B-CLPD) includes chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), B prolymphocytic leukemia, (B-PLL), hairy cell leukemia (HCL), marginal zone lymphoma (MZL), follicular lymphoma (FL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (LPL/WM). All the above-mentioned diseases are partially similar in cell morphology, immunophenotype and molecular genetics, but significantly different in treatment and prognosis. Currently, many new drugs targeted at cell cycle and apoptosis pathway, such as proteasome inhibitor immune modulators and histone deacetylase inhibitors, have achieved encouraging results in B-CLPD, which bring new hope for patients with B-CLPD. The review will discuss the progress in diagnosis and treatment of B-CLPD in recent years.
