Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most frequent form of leukemia in the adult population. From an asymptomatic state, which can lay for years, CLL rapidly evolves becoming fatal. Apoptosis resistance and induction of a protective form of autophagy are possible explanations of the poor responsivity of CLL to conventional and innovative therapeutic drugs.
