Clinical features at diagnosis in 430 patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia seen at a referral centre over a 16‐year period
@article{Savage1997ClinicalFA, title={Clinical features at diagnosis in 430 patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia seen at a referral centre over a 16‐year period}, author={D G Savage and Richard Szydlo and John M. Goldman}, journal={British Journal of Haematology}, year={1997}, volume={96} }
To determine major presenting features of chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) in current practice, we have reviewed the records of 430 patients with CML referred to the Hammersmith Hospital for allogeneic bone marrow transplantation since 1981. Approximately 20% of cases were diagnosed incidentally. Symptoms such as fatigue and weight loss were associated with greater degrees of leucocytosis and splenomegaly and lower haemoglobin levels. Most bleeding patients had normal or elevated platelet counts…

Despite the efficacy demonstrated with imatinib so far, resistance does occur and, in addition, sudden transformation to blast phase, particularly of lymphoid lineage, may occur and the outlook for patients with transformed disease remains poor even with intensive therapy including allogeneic transplantation.
