Chronic myelogenous leukemia: Chronic myelogenous leukemia is a special type of blood cancer. In cases of bone marrow cancer, the number of white blood cells in the blood begins to increase abnormally. This can be a serious start to cancer. This disease is growing rapidly among Indians.
This disease is more common in people aged 30 to 40. However, chronic myelogenous leukemia, i.e. CML disease, progresses very slowly in the body. If this disease is detected in time, treatment is possible.
To detect this disease in time, it is very important to carry out frequent blood tests. Proteins are detected in the blood using BCR-ABL. This protein is responsible for CML. If you do this test regularly, you will know immediately if you have CML. It can be treated in the early stages.
Onset of CML cancer
It is very important to identify CML cancer at an early stage. When continuous changes are taking place in your body, it is very important to take special care of it. Usually its first symptoms can be constant bone pain, bleeding, flatulence after eating a little, excessive fatigue, fever and weight gain even without hard work. Rib pain, loss of appetite, sweating during sleep, and blurred vision may be early symptoms of CML cancer.
causes of CML cancer
CML cancer occurs when various changes occur in the cells of the bone marrow. There are 23 pairs of chromosomes in human cells. These chromosomes contain genes. This gene tells cells what to do next. This is called CML cancer. There are many changes throughout the chromosomes. A section of chromosome 9 is swapped with chromosome 22. This creates one short chromosome 22 and one long chromosome 9.
According to a report published in the British journal Nature Communications Journal, the scientist claims that 19 types of cancer can be detected through a blood test. Additionally, cancer can be detected through blood tests 7 years before it appears. Blood samples were taken from 44,000 people in Britain. Among them, 4 thousand 9 hundred people suffered from cancer. The research team examined the blood proteins of 1,463 people. To find out which protein may be associated with cancer, this research found that 618 types of proteins are associated with 19 types of cancer. This includes bowel, lung, non-Hodgkin lymphoma and liver cancer. Further research is needed on this subject.
