Progression of disease in patient with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) to an more acute phase which resembles Acute Myeloblastic leukemia (AML) with the appearance of many very immature cells (blast cells) in bone marrow and blood

The stage of chronic myelogenous leukemia in which large quantities of immature cells are produced by the bone marrow. This stage of CML is far less responsive to treatment than the chronic (stable) phase. (Read about " Leukemia")
The stage of chronic myelogenous leukemia when large amounts of blast cells are found in the blood.
an advanced stage of chronic myelogenous leukemia, similar to acute leukemia, where there are a large number of immature "blast" cells circulating in the blood stream.
A phase of chronic myelogenous leukemia in which tiredness, fever, and an enlarged spleen occur during the blastic phase, when more than 30% of the cells in the blood or bone marrow are blast cells (immature blood cells).
A phase in chronic leukemia that mimics acute leukemia (blasts 30%)
The phase of chronic myelogenous leukemia in which the number of immature, abnormal white blood cells in the bone marrow and blood is extremely high. Also called blast phase.
