Stimuli for biologic aging include ionizing radiation, ultraviolet light, diet, exercise, oxidative stresses, and perhaps, worst of all, smoking. All of these can trigger intracellular processes, including DNA methylation, or epigenetic change, telomere shortening and damage, DNA damage, and mitochondrial dysfunction.
While great progress has been made in developing and delivering new treatment options for chronic lymphocytic leukemia, recognizing the chronic nature of the disease and being cognizant of side effects that can have a major impact on a patient’s quality of life remains an important responsibility.
