A member asked:

Normal life span for 48 year old woman with hairy cell leukemia treated with cladrabine 2008?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

May be a long time: Prior to cladribine, this leukemia had a low survival. Now patients can have a long disease free interval. Seer 5 year survival is 92%. Hope this helps.
