[Prognostic evaluation of chronic lymphocytic leukemia in relation to the Rai classification. Critical analysis of 145 personal cases]
Abstract
145 patients suffering from Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, observed in the period from 1961 to 1976, were analyzed with regard to prognosis according to following factors: age, sex, Rai staging. Age and sex didn't show to influence median survival. According to Rai staging, and Authors, owing to obtained results, propose a classification in just two stages.
