Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) occurs most often in people between ages 25 and 60. In CML, the abnormal cells are a type of blood cell called myeloid cells. CML usually involves a defective string of DNA called the Philadelphia chromosome. (This disease is not inherited; the change in DNA...

(Chromosome Res. Unit, Fac. Sci., Hokkaido Univ., Sapporo) Chromosome studies were performed with banding techniques on bone marrow or peripheral blood cells in 106 cases of chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML) in the chronic and/or blastic phase of the disease, of which 101 cases were ...
: Cancer that starts in blood-forming tissue such as the bone marrow and causes large numbers of abnormal blood cells to be produced and enter the blood -- "leukemia," lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL and CLL), myelogenous leukemia (AML and CML), T-cell leukemia, and hairy-cell leukemia...
Limited data is available on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and symptoms of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who are in treatment-free remission (TFR). We herein report HRQoL results from the EURO-SKI trial. Patients who had been on tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) ...
Five years after the diagnosis, the patient presented with leukocytosis 3.8x109/L in a routine blood test, and was finally diagnosed with chronic-phase chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). The leukemia responded optimally to initial dasatinib, and a complete cytogenetic response was achieved after 6...
Twenty to 25% of patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) treated with interferon-alpha (IFN-A) achieve a complete cytogenetic response (CCR). However, cells bearing rearrangement of BCR/ABL can still be detected many years after achieving a CCR despite the absence of clinical evidence ...
