Abstract
We present a unique Richter's transformation case in CNS with identical
to CLL clonal origin in a patient treated with Venetoclax. With our case
we make implications on whether Venetoclax penetrates the blood-brain
barrier and we address the debating issue of the appropriate Venetoclax
dose in case of drug-drug interactions.09 Jan 2021Submitted to Clinical Case Reports 11 Jan 2021Submission Checks Completed
