Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2023 To 2033

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), a type of myeloproliferative disorder, represents a significant proportion of leukemia cases globally. Its hallmark is the presence of the Philadelphia chromosome, arising from a specific translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22 (t(9;22)(q34;q11.2)), which generates an aberrant tyrosine kinase due to the BCR/ABL gene fusion. While CML isn't hereditary, the exact factors predisposing individuals to this condition remain unclear. CML typically progresses through three phases: chronic (CML-CP), accelerated (CML-AP), and blast (CML-BP). Diagnosis often occurs during the chronic phase, which might be asymptomatic or manifest with symptoms like fatigue, anemia, weight loss, night sweats, or an enlarged spleen. Treatment strategies for chronic myeloid leukemia vary based on disease stage. In the asymptomatic chronic phase, initial therapy usually involves tyrosine kinase inhibitors (such as imatinib, nilotinib, dasatinib, bosutinib, and ponatinib), demon...
