The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2014, about 5,980 new cases of chronic myeloid leukemia were diagnosed, and about 810 people died of the disease. This means that a little over 10% of all newly diagnosed leukemia cases will be chronic myeloid leukemia. The average risk of a person getting this disease is 1 in 588.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) 8.7% Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) sorted under lymphomas according to current WHO classification; called small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) when leukemic cells are absent. 10.2% Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) 3.7% Acute monocytic leukemia (AMoL) 0.7% Other leukemias 3.1% Lymphomas — 55.6%
Hyperleukocytosis is common in chronic myelogenous leukemia and chronic lymphocytic leukemia, but leukostasis rarely occurs. [7] Similarly, the incidence of hyperleukocytosis in people with acute lymphoblastic leukemia is between 10 and 30% but rarely does this progress to symptomatic leukostasis. [7]
Generally, diseases outlined within the ICD-10 codes C91-C95 within Chapter II: Neoplasms should be included in this category. The main article for this category is Leukemia . Wikimedia Commons has media related to Leukemias .
In aCML many clinical features (splenomegaly, myeloid predominance in the bone marrow with some dysplastic features but without a differentiation block) and laboratory abnormalities (myeloid proliferation, low leukocyte alkaline phosphatase values) suggest the diagnosis of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML).
Diagnosis is made on the basis of bone marrow biopsy. Fibrosis grade 2 or 3 defines overt PMF whereas grade 0 or 1 defines prefibrotic primary myelofibrosis. [citation needed] A physical exam of the abdomen may reveal enlargement of the spleen, the liver, or both. [3] Bone marrow biopsy shows fibrosis of the bone marrow.
Myeloid leukemia is a type of leukemia affecting myeloid tissue. Types include: Acute myeloid leukemia: A cancer of the myeloid line of blood cells, characterized by the rapid growth of abnormal cells that build up in the bone marrow and blood and interfere with normal blood cell production. Chronic myelogenous leukemia: A cancer of the white ...
