Overview

Overview

Hematopoitic stem cell transplant is the mainstay of treatment for CNL patients. It is recommended that every patients that are qualified for HSCT, take this treatment. Since, the therapy in blast phases has the poor outcomes, HSCT should be started as soon as possible in the disease course, before blast transformation. Splenic irradiation was used as a palliative treatment in patients of CNL with splenomegaly.
