CLL Therapy: Winning the Battle but Losing the War?

Date: February 9, 2006

A recent post on the blog of our favorite CLL expert Dr. Terry Hamblin said "Every treatment that I know will make the immune system worse". I agree with that statement in general terms, but at the expense of sounding like our former president Mr. Clinton, I respectfully suggest the specifics depend on the exact meaning of the words 'treatment', 'immune system' and 'worse'. You can read my take on this important question in the latest article, Winning the Battle but Losing the War?. Unlike our usual articles that are studded with learned abstracts, this article is 100% editorial comments from yours truly. You might want to have several pinches of salt handy.

Be well,

Chaya
