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