Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia
Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia (CML) is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. It occurs due to a mutation in the BCR-ABL gene, leading to uncontrolled growth of white blood cells. Symptoms include fatigue, weight loss, and splenomegaly. Treatment options for chronic myeloid leukaemia include targeted therapy and bone marrow transplant.
