Description
In this week's episode, we'll be comparing BTK inhibitors in relapsed/refractory CLL. Then, we'll hear how researchers in the UK unraveled the genetic background of the AnWj blood group. Finally we'll learn about the role of BCL-2 and BAFF in CLL cell survival following venetoclax therapy.
