What Does CGL Stand For?
CGL stands for Chronic Granulocytic Leukemia
Chronic Granulocytic Leukemia (CGL) is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow, characterized by the overproduction of granulocytic white blood cells. This disorder is a form of leukemia, specifically classified under chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), and typically progresses slowly. Patients with CGL may experience symptoms such as fatigue, weight loss, night sweats, and an enlarged spleen. Diagnosis is often made through blood tests and bone marrow examination, and treatment options may include targeted therapies, chemotherapy, and stem cell transplantation. Regular monitoring and management are essential to improve patient outcomes.
