Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This collection is the second edition of the Special Issue "Targeted Drugs in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia" (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/cancers/special_issues/Targeted_Chronic).

Over the past decade, the treatment of CLL has transformed with the emergence of novel targeted therapies. Recent clinical advances have successfully tested newer generation drugs and combination therapies.

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue on Targeted Drugs in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. We are interested in receiving  high-quality articles, including basic, translational, and clinical studies. This Special Issue aims to highlight the importance of using the targeted therapies currently available in CLL, as well as research on the development of new agents and basic research into novel targetable pathways.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: kinase targeted agents (BTK, PI3K, SYK), BCL2-family targeted agents, other small molecules, monoclonal antibodies, antibody–drug conjugates, bi-specific antibodies, and immunotherapies, including CAR-T cell therapies. Please spread the word to all of your colleagues!

I look forward to receiving your contributions.

Dr. Justin Taylor
Guest Editor
