Abstract
The article elucidates the results of the international clinical research into the application of alemtuzumab in patients with chronic lymphatic leukemia (CLL) and presents the results of the application of alemtuzumab both in monotherapy and in the combination with chemomedicines (fludarabin, cyklofosfan). The received results testify that the application of alemtuzumab in CLL patients is an effective up-to-date method of therapy.
