I have chronic leukemia or CLL. What are the chances that the disease will change its form and become another type of leukemia?

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) can sometimes transform into a more aggressive form of leukemia, such as Richter's transformation, which occurs in about 5-10% of CLL cases. However, this transformation is relatively rare, and most individuals with CLL will not experience this change. Regular monitoring and check-ups with your healthcare provider are essential to detect any changes in the disease's behavior early on. Always consult your doctor for personalized information regarding your condition and risks.
