Risk Assessment and Risk-Adapted Treatment Selection: A Case-Based Approach for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Selected Patient Cases From the APSHO Regional Lecture Series INTRODUCTION As the official publication of the Advanced Practitioner Society for Hematology and Oncology (APSHO), JADPRO is pleased to offer Part 3 of an accredited educational activity based on the recently concluded APSHO Regional Lecture Series. Hosted in collaboration with major cancer centers around the country, the APSHO Regional Lecture Series brought case-based didactic presentations and skills workshops to advanced practitioners. In the spirit of JADPRO, three accredited Grand Rounds articles by Beth Eaby-Sandy, MSN, CRNP, OCN® (non–small cell lung cancer) and Sandra Kurtin, PhDc, ANP-C, AOCN® (multiple myeloma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia)—program chairs for the regional lecture series—offer the same practice-changing information and strategies for advanced practitioners. In this Grand Rounds article, program chair Sandra Kurtin reviews the prognosis, risk assessment, and treatment for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and assesses four case studies. You can read Parts 1 and 2 in previous issues of JADPRO or online at advancedpractitioner.com.
