World CML (Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia) Day, observed on 22nd September, is dedicated to raising awareness about chronic myeloid leukaemia, a rare type of blood cancer that affects the white blood cells. CML is caused by a genetic mutation in the bone marrow, leading to an overproduction of abnormal white blood cells. World CML Day focuses on educating the public about the symptoms of CML, the importance of early diagnosis, and the latest advancements in treatment.
CML often presents with symptoms such as fatigue, night sweats, and an enlarged spleen, which can be mistaken for other conditions. Raising awareness is crucial to ensure that individuals seek medical advice and receive appropriate care. Thanks to advancements in treatment, including targeted therapies, many CML patients can manage their condition effectively and maintain a good quality of life.
World CML Day also supports the CML community by promoting research, advocating for access to treatment, and providing resources for patients and their families. By fostering a global network of support, World CML Day aims to improve the lives of those affected by this rare cancer.
