CML results from a translocation of genetic material between chromosomes 9 and 22. The translocation results in the production of an abnormal tyrosine kinase that makes affected cells immortal. Symptoms CML often is diagnosed in asymptomatic patients who are found to have an unexplained leukocytosis wh...
CML is a cancer of the bone marrow and white blood cells. It is a form of leukemia that is characterised by an increased growth of myeloid cells in the bone marrow and the accumulation of these cells in the blood. Like many cancers, CML ma...
CML is usually suspected based on routine blood work, which is one reason why it’s important to have an annual checkup. A few people might experience some symptoms, like fatigue or night sweats, but most don’t. If CML is suspected on routine bloodwork, it will need to be confirmed wi...
The side-effect profile was similar to that expected, with the exception of one patient who developed a drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms. Although CML patients co-morbid for HIV face certain unique challenges when compared to non-infected patients, their long-term outcome can be...
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is usually an insidious disease and the median age at diagnosis is stated in Hematology text books to be around 50 years. In the past, patients seek medical attention as a consequence of symptoms of vigorous hematopoiesis (fever, sweats, bone pain, weight loss,...

Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) can be considered as a paradigm for neoplasias that evolve through a multi-step process. CML is also one of the best examples of a disease that can be targeted by molecular therapy; however, the success of new 'designer drugs' is largely restricted to the ...
Introduction The life expectancy of a newly diagnosed patient with Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+), BCR-ABL1+ chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in chronic phase (CP) is now very close to that of age matched individuals in the general population, at least in western countries [1–5]. ...
Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) can be considered, for some aspects, a model for malignant tumours that evolve through a multi-step pathogenetic process. In its natural history, CML is usually diagnosed in chronic phase (CP) and then progresses through an accelerated phase to a nearly invariably...
“neutrophilic-chronic myeloid leukemia”, or N-CML, “plasma cell dyscrasia-associated neutrophilia”, and “myelodysplastic-chronic neutrophilic leukemia,” emphasizing the obstacle of identifying cases of diagnostically pure CNL from a virtual diagnostic wastebasket. Even the terms used to describe ...
