CHRONIC MYELOID
LEUKEMIA (CML)
Clonal malignant myeloproliferative disorder (MPD)
characterized by increased proliferation of the
granulocytic cell line without the loss of their
capacity to differentiate
Etiology
– Not clear
– Little evidence of genetic factors linked to
the disease
– Increased incidence
Survivors of the atomic disasters at Nagasaki
& Hiroshima
Post radiation therapy
Leukaemogenesis
Philadelphia
chromosome is an
acquired cytogenetic
anomaly that is
characterizes in all
leukaemic cells in CML
90-95% of CML pts
have Ph chromosome
Reciprocal
translocation of
chromosome 22 and
chromosome 9
Leukaemogenesis
Bone marrow
– Hypercellular (reduced
fat spaces)
– Myeloid:erythroid ratio –
10:1 to 30:1 (N : 2:1)
– Myelocyte predominant
cell, blasts less 10%
– Megakaryocytes
increased & dysplastic
– Increase reticulin
fibrosis in 30-40%
Lab features
Blastic phase
– Resembles acute leukaemia
– Diagnosis requires > 20% blast in
marrow
– 2/3 transform to myeloid blastic phase
and 1/3 to lymphoid blastic phase
– Survival : 9 mos vs 3 mos (lym vs
myeloid)
General Management
Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia
– Monoclonal antibodies
