Chronic myelocytic leukemia

Chronic myelocytic leukemia, more commonly designated chronic myeloid or myelogenous leukemia, is an indolent myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by the clonal expansion of mature and maturing granulocytic cells within the blood and bone marrow It predominantly affects adults, with incidence increasing with age, though it can occasionally arise in children

Chronic myelocytic leukemia, more commonly designated chronic myeloid or myelogenous leukemia, is an indolent myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by the clonal expansion of mature and maturing granulocytic cells within the blood and bone marrow Untreated or advanced disease characteristically progresses from a stable chronic phase through an accelerated phase to an acute, highly aggressive blast crisis
