What is chronic myeloid leukemia? Gleevec

Patient's question:

I have been experiencing dizziness recently, and I can't eat properly either. My mental state isn't great either. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was a blood-related issue. What is chronic myeloid leukemia, and what is Gleevec?

Doctor's answer:

Chronic myeloid leukemia is a malignant blood disease, also known as blood cancer. This disease is very difficult to treat because it is malignant, and the survival rate is also very low. The lenalidomide mentioned in movies is just a trade name, and its main effect is to control the spread of leukemia. It is an anti-tumor preparation. This drug is now widely used in the treatment of leukemia.
