Much of the excitement at ASH 2011 for CLL has revolved around newer tools such as kinase inhibitors and chimeric antigen receptors. But that's not the whole story. Dr. Stephan Stilgenbauer, deputy director of the department of haematology at the University of Ulm in Germany, explains that researchers have made recent breakthroughs in their understanding of the disease itself.

He states that the challenge for researchers in the future will be to compare these newer disease subtypes and identify which of the newer treatment approaches will give patients the best results.
