Do I need to take ibrutinib for life?

Whether Ibrutinib needs to be taken for life depends on the patient's specific condition and the doctor's advice. Ibrutinib is usually used to treat some chronic B cell-related malignancies, such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), small lymphocytic lymphoma ( >SLL), lymphoid follicular lymphoma (FL) and Langerhans cell histiocytic lymphoma (MCL), etc. For these conditions, ibrutinib is generally considered a long-term treatment option. In many cases, doctors may recommend that patients continue taking ibrutinib to maintain disease in remission and reduce the risk of recurrence or progression. This can be a lifelong treatment, or after the patient's condition is effectively controlled, the doctor may consider reducing the dose of ibrutinib, but the patient's condition will still need to be monitored regularly.
