(chronic myeloid leukemia) Leukemia is a term for cancers of the blood cells. Leukemia starts in blood-forming tissues such as the bone marrow. Your bone marrow makes the cells which will develop into white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. Each type of cell has a different job: White blood cells help your body fight infection; Red blood cells deliver oxygen from your lungs to your tissues and organs; Platelets help form clots to stop bleeding. When you have leukemia, your bone marrow makes large numbers of abnormal cells. This problem most often happens with white blood cells. These abnormal cells build up in your bone marrow and blood. They crowd out the healthy blood cells and make it hard for your cells and blood to do their work.

(chronic myelogenous leukemia) Chronic leukemia in which myeloid progenitor cells predominate; the hallmark of CML, the Philadelphia chromosome, is a reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22 which activates the proto- oncogene c-abl.

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) occurs when a pluripotent stem cell undergoes malignant transformation and clonal myeloproliferation, leading to a striking overproduction of mature and immature granulocytes. Initially asymptomatic, CML progression is insidious, with a nonspecific �benign� stage (malaise, anorexia, weight loss) eventually...

Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), also known as chronic myeloid leukemia, is a myeloproliferative disorder characterized by increased proliferation of the granulocytic cell line without the loss of their capacity to differentiate. It accounts for 20% of all leukemias affecting adults.

Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is an uncommon type of cancer of the bone marrow - the spongy tissue inside bones where blood cells are made. CML causes an increased number of white blood cells in the blood.

Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is the most common myeloproliferative disorder accounting for 15-20% of all leukaemia cases.

Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a malignant clonal disorder of the hematopoietic stem cell that results in marked myeloid hyperplasia of the bone marrow. Dysregulation of hematopoiesis arises due to a BCR-ABL fusion gene that causes an abnormal expansion of myeloid cells in the bone marrow and peripheral blood. The "chronic phase"...
