Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Green Tea Studies(CLL) Chronic lymphocytic leukemia green tea research from the Mayo Clinic Researchers at the Mayo Clinic presented their findings using EGCG from green tea with CLL patients at the June 2010 annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology. Positive results from a phase I trial in 2009 allowed their research to continue to phase II with more patients. Both trials showed a sustained reduction in the blood leukemia count of 20% or more for about one third of the participants. Both trials also showed more than 50% reduction in lymph node size for up to 69% of the patients. Dr. Shanafelt of the Mayo Clinic says "All in all, the treatment was well tolerated with very mild side effects in most patients." Researchers caution that they cannot make a recommendation until a phase III trial, and that CLL patients should consult their doctors for monitoring and personalized lifestyle recommendations. This disease shows wide variations in progression, ranging from rapid progression to some people who live for decades without treatment. Scientists at the Mayo Clinic continue to work to identify biomarkers, risks, and individualized treatment programs that will address these variations in CLL. CLL is diagnosed in over 245,000 Americans with over 4000 deaths annually (Leukemia Lymphoma Society, 2009).
