“…The BCR and CD20 play a key role in the pathogenesis of CLL as exemplified by the high efficacy of BTK inhibitors, such as ibrutinib, and obinutuzumab, a glycoengineered anti‐CD20 monoclonal antibody 56 . Peripheral neuropathy in CLL may be due to different causes, as among which viral infections (varicella zoster virus, VZV; hepatitis C virus, HCV), iatrogenic (ibrutinib, lenalidomide), immune‐mediated, rarely neuropathy is secondary to invasion by leukemic cells 29‐64 or light chain amyloidosis 65 . In a single centre cohort of more than 800 CLL patients, we identified 19 (2.2%) subjects who developed neuropathy during the follow‐up, with an estimated incidence by time to neuropathy development of 2.1% and 6.9% after 10 and 20 years from the CLL diagnosis, respectively 29 .…”
