Patient's question:
I have had symptoms of anemia since I was a child. Recently, I noticed that my complexion is unusually pale, and I often get nosebleeds. After doing some research, I suspect I might have chronic granulocytic leukemia. I would like to know what symptoms are associated with chronic granulocytic leukemia?Doctor's answer:
Systemic symptoms, such as fatigue, low-grade fever, weight loss, and sweating. A very small number of patients may have thyroid problems in the early stages, experiencing difficulty in regulating heat and weight loss, and developing anemia later. Bone pain and joint pain: 75% of Cammel patients experience sternal tenderness. Spleen atrophy: In the early stages, the spleen can be palpated, while all patients in the later stages have splenomegaly. In addition to medication, the treatment for chronic myeloid leukemia has made slow progress. Treatment methods include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, splenectomy, and bone marrow suppression.
