Andrew Schorr interviews another very well know CLL specialist, Prof Dr. Michael Halleck

"Could monoclonal antibodies replace chemotherapy in treating CLL? Phase III clinical trials for these therapies are showing excellent results--especially in elderly patients--and may lead to chemo-free treatments that manage the disease with very few side effects.
