How long does it take for CMML-1 to progress to AML?
The progression timeline varies, but about 18 percent of people with CMML type 0 or 1 develop AML within five years of diagnosis. This means that while progression is possible, most people with CMML-1 don't develop AML during that timeframe.
It's important to note that progression isn't inevitable. The risk depends on several factors including:
* Your age
* Other health conditions you may have
* Your blood cell counts
* Specific genetic changes in your CMML cells
* Your lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels
Your doctor can help you understand your individual risk based on these prognostic factors. Regular monitoring allows your healthcare team to watch for any signs of progression and adjust your treatment plan if needed.
