Chronic myeloid leukemia, also known as chronic granulocytic leukemia, is a common clinical condition and a type of leukemia characterized primarily by the proliferation and infiltration of leukemic cells in the blood or bone marrow. Chronic myeloid leukemia in the elderly mainly presents in hematology departments and may be associated with genetic factors or gene mutations, as well as environmental factors.
