The disease most commonly occurs in people over the age of 65, due to the accumulation of genetic mutations that occur over time. [3] [16] Men are diagnosed around twice as often as women (6.8 to 3.5 ratio). [17] It is much less common in people from Asia. [4] Five-year survival following diagnosis is approximately 83% in the United States. [3]

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) most often affects adults over the age of 55. It sometimes occurs in younger adults, but it almost never affects children. Two-thirds of affected people are men. The five-year survival rate is 85%. [18] It is incurable, but there are many effective treatments.
The key factor that distinguishes low-count CLL/SLL-MLB, high-count CLL/SLL-MLB, and CLL/SLL is the number of circulating monoclonal B cells, as described above. However, the other MLB phenotypes may progress to and/or be mimicked by various monoclonal B-cell lymphocyte malignancies.
The new American Association for Cancer Research report predicts more than 2 million new cancer cases diagnosed in 2024, and emphasizes the dangerous role played by alcohol use in cancer development.
Recent studies have demonstrated that less than 1% of the population under age 40 but approximately 10-20% of the population over age 70 has observable clonal hematopoiesis. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ] Having clonal hematopoiesis has been linked to a more than 10-fold increased risk of developing a blood cancer, though the overall likelihood is still low.
