    Welcome to the Ninja Nerd Podcast with Zach and Rob! In this episode, we explore Chronic Leukemias, focusing on their pathogenesis, clinical features, and modern treatment strategies. We compare Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL), discussing the role of BCR-ABL in CML and the implications of smudge cells and monoclonal B-cell proliferation in CLL. Our conversation covers key diagnostic tools such as PCR, flow cytometry, and blood smear findings, as well as cutting-edge treatment options like tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for CML and targeted monoclonal antibody therapy for CLL. We also discuss disease progression, complications like Richter transformation, and indications for therapy in asymptomatic patients. This high-yield episode is perfect for both exam prep and clinical application—enjoy and support us below!
