Popis: Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) is the most common type of leukemia in the US, representing approximately 1.1% of all new cancers diagnosed. Most patients with CLL can be monitored without treatment, and the indicated treatment options include a CD20 monoclonal antibody with or without bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors, and B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2) antagonists. We review the case of a 77-year-old female with a long-standing history of CLL predominant lymphocytosis, transfusion -independent anemia, and thrombocytopenia. Patient responded to zanubrutinib after initial failure of idelalisib, rituximab, and acalabrutinib and venetoclax.
