In medicine, B-Cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia, also called chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), is a "chronic leukemia characterized by abnormal B-lymphocytes and often generalized lymphadenopathy. In patients presenting predominantly with blood and bone marrow involvement it is called chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL); in those predominantly with enlarged lymph nodes it is called small lymphocytic lymphoma. These terms represent spectrums of the same disease."[1][2][3]

As a primary antineoplastic agent, fludarabine may be more effective than chlorambucil.[4]
| Regimen | Effectiveness | Adverse effects |
|---|---|---|
| Combination:[6][7] • Fludarabine • Cyclophosphamide • Rituximab |
Complete remission in 25% to 72% | • Neutropenia • 10% rate of infection during first year • Rituximab induced fever (37%), chills (50%), hypotension (13%), nausea and vomiting |
