Thanks Jeff. As the article starts out "Non-chemotherapeutic regimens are poised to become the standard of care for patients with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL), based on their safety profiles and effectiveness compared with traditional treatment options.

So clinical trials into CLL are now helping patients with other NHL's. As the article concludes: "It is an exciting time in B-cell malignancies."
