The lack of implementation of predictive biomarkers in clinical practice results in a significant number of individuals with NSCLC not deriving benefits from targeted treatments. Payers have the potential to shape various aspects of the precision oncology pathway, such as addressing biomarker test ordering, utilizing test results to inform treatment decisions, implementing quality measurements, and understanding cost-effectiveness.
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a chronic
lymphoproliferative disorder (lymphoid neoplasm).
It is characterized by a progressive accumulation of
functionally incompetent B lymphocytes, which are
usually monoclonal in origin.
The lack of implementation of predictive biomarkers in clinical practice results in a significant number of individuals with NSCLC not deriving benefits from targeted treatments. Payers have the potential to shape various aspects of the precision oncology pathway, such as addressing biomarker test ordering, utilizing test results to inform treatment decisions, implementing quality measurements, and understanding cost-effectiveness.
This non-promotional, sponsored webinar will review health plan best practice recommendations for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) with an impressive panel of oncology and managed care experts.
Recommendations for treatment initiation in CLL are stratified by disease stage using either the Rai staging system, which defines disease as low-, intermediate-, or high-risk; or the Binet staging system, which defines disease as stage A, B, or C based on the number of lymphoid areas involved and the presence of anemia or thrombocytopenia. Generally, treatment should be initiated in patients with active or progressive disease who are intermediate- or high-risk, or stage B or C.
