Dr. Lydia Scarfò, Associate Professor of Internal Medicine and Consultant Hematologist at the University of San Raffaele in Milan, Italy, discusses patient-centred care in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and the importance of considering each patient’s clinical profile, expectations and priorities when evaluating individualized treatment approaches.
As the CLL treatment landscape continues to evolve, first-line treatment discussions may take into account efficacy, safety, tolerability, comorbidities, treatment objectives and patient preferences.
In this educational video for healthcare professionals, Dr. Scarfò discusses:
- Approaches to considering clinical factors alongside patient goals, expectations and preferences in CLL consultations
- Insights from AI-supported semantic analysis of online CLL conversations and what they suggest about lived experience and unmet needs
- How patient priorities may inform more individualized first-line treatment discussions
