Epidemiological spectrum and diagnostic management of chronic myeloid leukemia – actualization and milestones
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) comprises 15-20% of all leukemia cases in adults, being the most common chronic myeloproliferative neoplasm, with the patients’ immunocompromised status in the advanced phases. The international periodical literature stipulates the increased susceptibility of patients with malignant tumors to SARS-CoV-2 infection, but the contagion risk is not determined in regard to the histological type of hematologic malignancies. The aim of the study was the comparative evaluation of the current epidemiological patterns and the contemporary diagnostics output in CML, axed on the optimization of tactics of diagnosis management in the context of the pandemic with COVID-19 infection.
