Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML)
With the recent announcement that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the basketball legend has chronic myelogenous leukemia, I hope more awareness would be brought to blood cancers and disorders. One of those myeloproliferative disorders is polycythemia vera which currently has no cure.
According to the Mayo Clinic, Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML), also called chronic myeloid leukemia and chronic granulocytic leukemia, is an uncommon type of cancer of the blood cells. The National Cancer Institute estimates that roughly 4,800 people are diagnosed with chronic myelogenous leukemia each year.
