Description: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common form of leukemia in Western countries, with an age-adjusted incidence of 4.6 per 100,000 individuals per year. As small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) refers to the same malignant process with primary nodal involvement rather than blood, these are generally managed as a single condition (CLL/SLL). The selection of therapies for patients with relapsed/refractory CLL/SLL requires consideration of several factors including previous therapies, disease characteristics, and patient-specific factors such as co-morbidities and concurrent medications. Given the recency of new research into these targeted treatments and new approvals, clinicians lack background knowledge of the most current evidence and guideline recommendations in the treatment of CLL/SLL. Even within national guidelines, specific recommendations for initial treatment choice and sequencing are not directed. This collaborative social learning platform establishes a network of providers who can support each other locally, as well as those from different communities, with the goal of learning and sharing best practices that will improve outcomes for patients with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/ small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL).
