Accelerated phase chronic myelogenous leukemia is a phase of
blood cells). In the accelerated phase, these leukemia cells grow quickly.[citation needed
]
Symptoms
Common symptoms include fever, bone pain, and swollen spleen.[2]
Treatment
Patients treated with imatinib, dasatinib, and nilotinib have shown meaningful rates of hematologic and cytogenetic response.[3]
Prognosis
Prognosis is very poor once chronic myelogenous leukemia reaches the accelerated phase; it behaves similarly to acute myeloid leukemia.
