Is chronic myeloid leukemia contagious?

Patient's question:

I was carefully diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia at the hospital. I want to know if chronic myeloid leukemia is infectious?

Doctor's answer:

Chronic myeloid leukemia is not an infectious disease, so it will never be contagious or inherited across generations. Regarding the causes of chronic myeloid leukemia, it is often due to problems with our immune system or external environmental and dietary factors that affect our blood, leading to this condition. Treatment can be quite challenging, but following the doctor's prescribed medication regimen can still yield some positive effects.
