The primary aims of these workshops were to: (1) describe current knowledge of blood cancer precursors and how these might foster early clinical intervention; (2) discuss ongoing clinical studies and any available data from these on interception modalities for early-stage blood cancers; (3) share knowledge and clinical insights between blood cancer disciplines and therapy areas, and (4) plan for publication and dissemination of consensus findings from discussions across each of the key topic tracks. These included: (A) lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia  \n(CLL) and monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis (MBL); (B) Multiple myeloma, smoldering myeloma and monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance (MGUS); and (C) Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential, clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance, Myelodysplastic syndromes and acute myeloid leukemia.  \nHere, we highlight the key discussion points and international expert panel consensus from one of the key topic tracks: MBL/CLL. Similar summary publications for the remaining two key topics of MGUS/myeloma and myeloid precursor conditions will be reported separately. We focus this review on four broad themes that were discussed at the meetings, incorporating data from several key presentations and related discussions (Table 1): the biology of MBL, clinical implications of MBL, progression of MBLand transformation from indolent CLL to aggressive disease, and opportunities for early interception in early stage, asymptomatic CLL. We provide consensus recommendations based on the presentations and discussions during the IBC Workshops, while  \n1Department of Medical Oncology, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, MA, USA. 2Leeds Teach","cbCaiqifGxJhnlBT","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqifGxJhnlBT","pdf",930286,8,"English","# INTRODUCTION\n## Workshop aims and topic tracks\n## Focus on MBL/CLL themes","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Intercepting Blood Cancers Workshops in this report?\",\"answer\":\"The workshops bring together experts to review current knowledge of blood cancer precursors, discuss ongoing clinical studies and data for early intervention, share cross-disciplinary insights, and plan publication of consensus findings.\"},{\"question\":\"Which main content areas does the consensus report cover for MBL/CLL?\",\"answer\":\"It highlights four areas: biology of MBL, clinical implications of MBL, progression including transformation from indolent CLL to aggressive disease, and opportunities for early therapeutic interception in early-stage, asymptomatic CLL.\"},{\"question\":\"Does the report include recommendations for management and research?\",\"answer\":\"Yes.
