Dr George Follows discusses testing and prognostics for CLL patients.

[HAIRBEAR_UK]

As prognostic testing of CLL patient's is currently in the news. This brief CLLSA video of explanations from Dr George Follow's of Cambridge University Hospitals on the subject may be of interest. This film explains how much discussion is required between the patient and doctor when understanding where you are, as current tests may be better at predicting for populations and there is much individual variation to consider.

Perhaps Cardiff;s latest testing break through will be translated into a test for the clinic to provide a more accurate answer for the individual?
