It's easy to become overwhelmed with the amount of technical information about blood testing which we need to learn to gain the most benefit from the results.

An individual who has been diagnosed with CML should have routine blood tests, including a Complete Blood Count (CBC), blood differential and liver function tests (LFTs ), done on a regular basis to help monitor treatment response.

Currently q-PCR is the most accurate test used to monitor your response to a particular therapy and to detect any significant rise in BCR-ABL1 transcripts. The test results are used to make evidence-based decisions in the context of the 2013 ELNet recommendations and NCCN Guidelines for the treatment of Ph+ CML.

Chromosomes are found in a cell’s nucleus and are made up of tightly wound stretches of DNA, the genetic code essential for the life of a cell and therefore the life of an individual.

During your diagnosis and the early stages of your TKI therapy, genetic testing will be performed to search for the presence of the Philadelphia chromosome and/or the BCR-ABL1 gene. The following types of tests are used to confirm or deny a diagnosis of CML.
