Abstract
In a retrospective study 117 patients with chronic lymphatic leukaemia (CLL) were classified according to Rai and analyzed with regard to their survival time. With increasing severity of the stage of the disease the prognosis becomes worse. A change of the stage was always in the sense of progredience of CLL. Untreated patients had the longest survival time. Among the various forms of treatment, monotherapy with corticosteroids had the worst, local irradiation therapy the best prognosis.
