The survival period of chronic myeloid leukemia is affected by factors such as onset time, age of onset, staging, and individual physical condition and treatment effect, etc. The specific survival period is uncertain, and there are patients who live to be more than 70 years old in the clinic.
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a malignant tumor formed by the clonal proliferation of bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells, which mostly develops in adulthood. Domestic epidemiological surveys have shown that the median age of onset of CML is 45 to 50 years old.
In general, patients with late age of onset, good physical condition and no underlying diseases can effectively prolong their survival after active treatment, and some of them can survive to more than 70 years old. Patients with early age of onset of the disease may enter the accelerated and acute stages after the chronic stage if they are not actively treated or if the treatment effect is not good, the disease progresses rapidly and the prognosis is poor.
It is recommended that patients actively seek medical treatment, early detection and early intervention can effectively improve the survival rate.
