Sandbox: prognosis
- The table below lists prognostic factors for chronic lymphocytic leukemia:[1]
Gender Males are associated with a worse prognosis Stage Binet stages B and C or Rai stages II–IV are associated with a worse prognosis Lymphocyte doubling time Rapid lymphocyte doubling time is associated with a worse prognosis Genetic mutations Deletion of chromosome 17 short arm is associated with a worse prognosis Histological analysis Diffuse histology on bone marrow aspiration is associated with a worse prognosis Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level Elevated levels of LDH is associated with a worse prognosis Lymphocyte surface marker Positive expression of CD38 is associated with a worse prognosis Immunoglobulin (Ig)VH gene The absence of VH gene mutation is associated with a worse prognosis Membrane protein The expression of Zeta-chain-associated protein kinase 70 (ZAP)is associated with a poor prognosis
