Prevention of CML and CLL
Prevention, they say, is better than cure. Because little is known about what exactly causes either of these cancers, experts don’t know how to prevent them. Therefore, avoiding exposure to high amounts of radiation or radon can lower your risk of developing CML and CLL, respectively. That said, most people don’t knowingly or purposely expose themselves to these substances.
Conclusion
Chronic myeloid leukemia and chronic lymphocytic leukemia are both persistent forms of leukemia that primarily affect adults. They both have many similarities in their symptoms. Many of these symptoms are due to leukemic cells taking over the bone marrow. It is essential to get a proper diagnosis because treatment differs for these types of leukemia. For example, the treatment of choice for CML involves targeted therapy drugs. In contrast, CLL treatment may involve a combination of chemotherapy [7], targeted therapy, and monoclonal antibodies.
