Who is the best person to treat my hairy cell leukemia? Hairy cell leukemia is a rare disease. It forms within those rare diseases. And for a rare disease, annually about less than a thousand patients with hairy cell leukemia are diagnosed with. That's how rare it is. With this being rare, the expertise is also limited. So there are designated centers of excellence for hairy cell leukemia. So I would guide my patients to this website. There's a hairy cell leukemia foundation. And if they go to that website, there's a list of centers for excellence actually throughout the world, including United States, Europe, Australia, and as well as Canada. You will see these centers of excellence and physicians who have expertise with hairy cell leukemia. And I would strongly recommend seeking an opinion from those centers.
