Understanding CLL/SLL Treatments: Fixed and Continuous-Duration Therapy Guide

The purpose of this guide is to assist people with CLL/SLL and their caregivers in understanding fixed and continuous-duration therapies used in CLL/SLL treatment. Fixed-duration therapy involves administering treatment over a set period, then stopping, while continuous-duration therapies are administered indefinitely until the medicine stops working or the patient withdraws due to side effect concerns. Developed independently by HealthTree, this guide has been reviewed by CLL physician Adam Kittai, MD, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, people with CLL, and CLL care partners to ensure relevance to you.
