Abstract
According to SEER data, between 2003 and 2007, the median age at diagnosis for chronic lymphocytic leukemia was 72 years and age-adjusted incidence rate was 4.2 per 100,000 men and women per year. A European study estimated the 1- and 5-year prevalence rate of CLL in European Union countries to be 0.2/10,000 and 0.9/10,000, respectively [1].
