CASE OF THE WEEK | CML Treatment in Raipur – 16 Years of Treatment Dr Suman Mittal, Cancer Specialist in Raipur, shares the inspiring 16-year journey of a woman diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) in 2010. CML is a type of blood cancer associated with the BCR-ABL1 gene. With appropriate targeted treatment and regular monitoring, CML can often be managed over the long term. Her treatment initially began with Hydroxyurea. Despite financial difficulties, she and her family remained consistent with treatment and regular follow-ups. Later, as Imatinib became more accessible, it was started as part of her treatment. With the availability of government healthcare support, access to treatment also improved. Today, she is receiving Nilotinib and continues regular medical monitoring. For individuals undergoing CML treatment in Raipur, targeted medicines such as Imatinib, Nilotinib, Dasatinib, Bosutinib, or Ponatinib may be used depending on the disease phase, treatment response, and overall health. Regular follow-up helps assess the effectiveness of therapy. During CML treatment in Pandri, Raipur, periodic blood counts and molecular testing help monitor BCR-ABL1 levels and treatment response. These results can guide further medical decisions when required. Sixteen years later, she continues her daily life with CML under control 6 days ago Call now
