  • Introduction (0:00)
  • Cases: A man in his early 90s with Rai Stage 0 CLL who underwent surveillance x 5 years and now develops cytopenias and transfusion-dependent anemia, and a woman in her late 60s with IGHV-unmutated CLL who develops night sweats, rapid doubling time of ALC — Bhavana (Tina) Bhatnagar, DO and Jennifer L Dallas, MD (3:18)
