Older patients with low-risk leukaemia may be able to cut back haematology visits: study
About 84% of patients with indolent leukaemia had no signs of cancer progression after three years without surveillance.
Some slow-growing cases of leukaemia do not need constant surveillance by haematologists, a study suggests.
Low-risk patients with slow-growing chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) and no symptoms fared well even after they stopped seeing doctors for specialised blood tests, researchers report.
