World Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Day is celebrated on September 22nd
World Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Day is celebrated on September 22nd every year. This day is dedicated to raising awareness about chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. CML is characterized by excessive production of immature white blood cells in the bone marrow, which interferes with normal blood cell production. This condition can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, paleness, weight loss, abdominal pain, among others. The date aims to educate the public about the importance of early diagnosis, available treatment options and offer support to people living with this disease and their families.
