Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction B‐cell prolymphocytic leukemia (B‐PLL) is a rare, aggressive leukemic B‐cell malignancy historically associated with poor outcomes and recently reclassified in the WHO Fifth Edition but retained as a distinct entity in the ICC. Methods We analyzed 950 patients labeled as B‐PLL in the National Cancer Database (2004–2019), identified using ICD‐O‐3 morphology code 9833/3.

Patients initially managed with active surve
