Certain factors affect treatment options and prognosis (chance of recovery). Treatment options depend on: - The stage of the disease. - Red blood cell, white blood cell, and platelet blood counts. - Whether there are signs or symptoms, such as fever, chills, or weight loss. - Whether the liver, spleen, or lymph nodes are larger than normal. - The response to initial treatment. - Whether the CLL has recurred (come back). The prognosis (chance of recovery) depends on: - Whether there is a change in the DNA and the type of change, if there is one. - Whether lymphocytes are spread throughout the bone marrow. - The stage of the disease. - Whether the CLL gets better with treatment or has recurred (come back). - Whether the CLL progresses to lymphoma or prolymphocytic leukemia. - The patients general health.
