Chronic myeloid leukaemia, micrograph C015 / 6227
Chronic myeloid leukaemia. Light micrograph of bone marrow from a patient with chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML). This cancer affects the myeloid tissue (bone marrow), specifically the white blood cell precursors (myeloblasts) that form a type of white blood cell known as granulocytes. These immature cells fill up the bone marrow and spill into the bloodstream and circulate throughout the body. The cells do not work properly to fight infections and their increased production reduces the production of red blood cells leading to anaemia and fatigue. Chronic leukaemias progress slowly and may not be diagnosed for a number of years

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate details of chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML), a form of cancer that affects the bone marrow. The image showcases a light micrograph of bone marrow from a patient with CML, revealing the abnormality in white blood cell precursors known as myeloblasts. In this condition, these immature cells multiply uncontrollably, filling up the bone marrow and spilling into the bloodstream. As they circulate throughout the body, their malfunctioning nature impairs their ability to fight infections effectively. Moreover, their excessive production hampers red blood cell formation, leading to anaemia and fatigue. Chronic leukaemias like CML progress slowly and may go undiagnosed for years before detection. This photograph serves as an invaluable tool for medical professionals in understanding and diagnosing this malignant disease accurately. The stained micrograph offers insight into histopathological features associated with CML—a vital aspect of oncology research. By studying such images closely, healthcare experts can gain deeper knowledge about this specific type of leukemia and develop effective treatment strategies accordingly. With its focus on granulocytes—the type of white blood cells formed by myeloblasts—this image sheds light on how chronic granulocytic leukaemia manifests within bone marrow tissue. It stands as a testament to ongoing efforts in medicine to combat diseases like CML while emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis for better patient outcomes.
