Treating Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia (CML)

# data[].attributes.body
The main treatments for chronic myeloid leukaemia are the biological therapy drug Imatinib, chemotherapy and intensive chemotherapy with a bone marrow or stem cell transplant.

The most important factor in choosing your treatment is the phase or stage of the CML. Your doctor will also take into account

Your general health

Your age and level of fitness

The most common treatment for chronic phase CML is a biological therapy drug called Imatinib.

The two most common types of chronic leukaemia are

Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML)

Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL)

The difference between them is the type of white blood cell that has become cancerous. In CLL the abnormal cells develop from early blood cells called the lymphoid blood stem cells. The cancerous white blood cells are B lymphocytes, also called B cells.

In CML, the abnormal leukaemic cells develop from early blood cells called the myeloid blood stem cells. They become myelocytes. These cells are sometimes called granulocytes. So you may hear this type of leukaemia called chronic granulocytic leukaemia or CGL.

Why leukaemias are called acute or chronic

# data[].attributes.body
Doctors put leukaemias into 2 main groups, acute and chronic. This describes how quickly the leukaemia is likely to develop and get worse. Acute leukaemias tend to develop quickly and get rapidly worse if they are not treated. Chronic leukaemias develop slowly and tend to get worse slowly, over a long time.

# data[].attributes.body
In leukaemia (blood cancer), abnormal white blood cells are made in the bone marrow. White blood cells normally circulate round the body in the bloodstream and protect us from infection. But in leukaemia the cells do not work normally and so don't protect from infection. Because there are too many of these abnormal white blood cells, they can build up in the lymph nodes, bone marrow and spleen and cause swelling in these areas. They can also cause problems in the liver and central nervous system.
