The Impact Of Oxidative Stress On The Immune Compartment Of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Patients.
Jitschin R, Bricks J, Berger J et al.
Key Points:
Role of oxidative stress in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
65 patients with untreated CLL study.
Observed elevated ROS levels in all CLL patients.
Investigators able to group CLL patients based on concentration of ROS-molecules.
Implications:
- ROS may be tumor immune escape mechanism in CLL patients.
