Accelerated phase chronic myelogenous leukemia
Accelerated phase chronic myelogenous leukemia is a phase of chronic myelogenous leukemia in which the disease is progressing.[1] SymptomsCommon symptoms include fever, bone pain, and swollen spleen.[2] TreatmentPatients treated with imatinib, dasatinib, and nilotinib have shown meaningful rates of hematologic and cytogenetic response.[3] PrognosisPrognosis is very poor once chronic myelogenous leukemia reaches the accelerated phase; it behaves similarly to acute myeloid leukemia.
