They reflect what we feel is relevant knwledge fr graduating medical nclgy residents preparing fr their final examinatin. The infrmatin has nt been surveyed r ratified by the Ryal Cllege. A) PUBLIC HEALTH EPIDEMIOLOGY Incidence: Mst cmmn adult leukemia in Western Cuntries and accunts fr 25% f all leukemias. Incidence rates in United States 6.75 (males) and 3.65 (females) per 100,000 ppulatin per year. In 2010, 2195 Canadians were diagnsed with CLL. Mrtality: 5 year survival apprximately 75 80%. In 2011, 600 Canadians died frm CLL. RISK FACTORS Age: Median age f diagnsis ~ 72 years Envirnmental/Chemical/Infectins: N/A Genetic: First degree relatives, Gender (male > female), Ethnicity (Caucasian > Asian) PREVENTION & SCREENING Preventin: N/A Screening: Rutine annual histry and physical examinatin B) PRESENTATION & DIAGNIS SYMPTOMS & SIGNS Cmmn Symptms: Asymptmatic, cnstitutinal B symptms (fevers >38 C, drenching sweats, weight lss 10% in 6 mnths), lymphadenpathy, fatigue.
