Synopsis
CML represents about 15%-20% of all leukemias in the United States. Median age at diagnosis is between 50 and 65 years, and there is a slight male predominance.
CML begins in the chronic phase (CP); this may progress to an accelerated phase (AP) and, later, a blast phase (BP), or acute leukemia (> 20% blasts). Approximately 85% of patients will be in CP when they present or are diagnosed.
