Interesting look at using steroids in lenalidomide (Revlimid) treatment to

reduce tumour flare in CLL by Asher Chanan-Khan MD et al of Roswell Park.

They state:

" In patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), treatment with

lenalidomide induces a unique, previously uncharacterized, immune response

called tumor flare reaction (TFR). The clinical significance of this reaction

remains unknown. "

They go on to say that it can be handle better by the use of prophylactic

steroids...
