Detailed Guide: Leukemia - Adult Chronic
How is Chronic Leukemia Treated?
As noted earlier, adult chronic leukemia is not a single disease. It is really a group of related diseases, and it is important to remember that different types of chronic leukemia vary in their prognosis and response to treatment. Treatment options for each patient are based on the type of leukemia, its stage, and certain prognostic features.

This section starts with general comments about types of treatments used for chronic leukemia. This is followed by discussion of treatment options for each type of chronic leukemia at different stages.
