Incidence and prognostic impact of other cancers in a population of long-term survivors of chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Conclusions
LTSs of CLL have an increased incidence of OC compared with the general population. CLL therapy is not a risk factor for OC in LTSs of CLL. The presence of an OC in these patients may be associated with shorter survival.
