Dr George Follows discusses the role of CLL patients with oral therapies and new medicines.

In this next video from Dr follows; the importance of compliance with taking maintenance medication is discussed and how this is now coming to CLL with the new targeted non chemo therapies '

The new targeted therapies will require discipline and engagement by patients to ensure they take their medications to stay in remission. Longer term the research community is working towards novel none chemo combinations that may produce a durable MRD status, removing the need then for continued medication, this could one day translate into a cure.

Q1) What would you say is the CLL patient’s role and responsibility when it comes to their treatment?

Q2) Do you think we could ever get to the point where patients can stop taking medicines after treatment?
