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?

Video questions

Q1) What are the most important clinical tests for CLL patients to take?

Q2) What genetic techniques can we utilise to help diagnose CLL patients?

Q2) Can a CLL patient’s genetic status change as their disease develops?

Q4) Using the results from genetic testing, how much can CLL patients understand about the likelihood if their disease will progress?
