Patient's question:
A friend goes to a hospital near their home every year for a routine health check-up. Then this year, last week, they went to a hospital near their home for a health check-up, and after a thorough examination, it was found that they had chronic myeloid leukemia. The friend feels that they have always been quite healthy, wondering what could have caused them to develop chronic myeloid leukemia?Doctor's answer:
There are many causes of chronic myeloid leukemia. When chronic myeloid leukemia actually occurs, it is essential to get checked for chromosomes and genes at a local regular hospital or institution as soon as possible to determine whether it is caused by specific chromosomes or genes. After drug treatment, many symptoms can be well stabilized and relieved, so timely treatment should still be implemented.
