Definition / Description of Disease

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm that is characterized by clonal expansion of predominantly granulocytic proliferation (neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils). The majority of the patients with CML are known to have a gene rearrangement called the Philadelphia Chromosome, which is a balanced genetic translocation t(9;22)(q34.1;q11.2) involving a fusion of the Abelson gene (ABL1) from chromosome 9q34 with the breakpoint cluster region (BCR) gene on chromosome 22q11.2. Althought 80% of the clonal evolution in CML cases can be attributed to classic Ph chromosome, secondary cytogenetic aberrations can be seen such as isochromosome 17q, gain of chromosome 8 or 19. ML was first recognized in 1845[1]. Nowell and Hungerford in 1960, who coined the term Philadelphia Chromosome after realizing consistent chromosomal abnormality in leukemic cells.[2] Later in 1973, the characteristic cytogenetic feature of CML was identified: reciprocal translocation of t(9;22)(q34.1;q11.2).[3] CML has the capacity to expand in both myeloid and lymphoid lineages. However, expansion is predominantly in the granulocyte compartment of the myeloid lineages in the bone marrow.[4] In the previous WHO 4th edition, CML was be divided into 3 phases of disease: chronic phase, accelerated phase and blastic phase. Currently, in the revised classification of CML, AP at diagnosis or during treatment has been omitted and replaced by recognising only the chronic and blast phases

Synonyms / Terminology

Formerly chronic myelogenous leukemia or chronic granulocytic leukemia

Epidemiology / Prevalence

Global annual incidence of CML is 1-2 cases per 100,000 population. CML has male predominance with male to female ratio of 1.4:1. The prevalence of CML is increasing due to successful Tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy. Predilection of CML among certain ethnic groups has not been reported.[5] Regional variations in age at diagnosis and overall survival among patients with chronic myeloid leukemia from low and middle income countries.[6] The median age of patients diagnosed with CML is 66 years according to Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program and Medical Research Council (MRC) data. Although the etiology of CML  is largely unknown, cases of CML have been reported in association with radiation exposure. No studies have shown any genetic inheritance of CML.

Approximately 50% of the patients who are diagnosed with CML are asymptomatic and diagnosed during the routine blood tests.[7] CML is a hematological disease that occurs predominantly in adults but in rare cases, it can occur in the pediatric population.[8] The onset of CML is insidious. Patients with CML usually experience dragging sensation of the abdomen due to splenomegaly. The clinical hallmark of CML is the uncontrolled proliferation of mature and maturing granulocytes at all stages of maturation: metamyelocytes, myelocytes, promyelocytes, and myeloblasts. Patients with CML usually begin with the initial chronic phase before entering the terminal blastic phase and 60-80% of the patients go through accelerated phase before reaching the terminal blastic phase. In chronic phase, CML patients show abnormal routine blood tests with clinical symptoms such as unintentional weight loss, loss of appetite, satiety, fatigue, insomnia and palpable splenomegaly. In rare cases, hyperviscosity syndrome can be a manifestation with a wide spectrum of features such as priapism, tinnitus, hearing loss, cerebral accidents and blindness. In the blastic phase, CML leukemic cells resemble acute leukemic cells morphologically. CNS and lymph node involvement are notable in the blastic phase of CML. If untreated, CML patients will progress to the terminal blastic phase in 3 to 5 years.

Sites of Involvement

Spleen is known to be the most common site of involvement as patients with CML usually present with splenomegaly. Literature has shown that bone marrow is always involved in patients with CML.

Morphologic Features

Morphologically, peripheral blood smear shows the classic features of chronic-phase CML: granulocytic leukocytosis with left shift, neutrophilia, no increase in blasts, myelocyte “bulge” and basophilia.[9] Granulocytes seen in CML patients usually lack dysplastic features. In bone marrow, the aspirate smear shows classic features of CML: marked increase in neutrophils and precursors with a myeloid: erythroid ratio of > 10:1 and small hypolobated megakaryocytes. CML can sometimes present with thrombocytosis in peripheral blood smear, mimicking essential thrombocythemia (ET). Most of the time, primary myelofibrosis (PMF) share overlapping morphological features with CML in the peripheral blood; one distinguishing feature is that the megakaryocyte morphology in PMF is large, bizarre, and hyperchromatic, which is the feature not seen in the CML.

Immunophenotype

The role of immunohistochemistry is minimal in diagnosing CML. CML usually shows blastic markers (CD 34, CD 117, TdT), which can be useful to confirm extramedullary (splenic involvement with blastic transformation). Lineage-specific markers (MPO, lysosome, CD42b, CD79a, PAX5, CD3) are helpful in distinguishing among myeloid, lymphoid or megakaryocytic transformation.

CML is the first cancer that is known to be linked to a specific genetic abnormality, namely the balanced chromosomal translocation known as Philadelphia Chromosome. A focal gene area of BCR (Breakpoint Cluster Region) from chromosome 22 is fused with another gene ABL (Tyrosine protein kinase ABL) that is located on chromosome 9. The chimeric oncogene BCR-ABL is the central to the pathology of CML because ABL carries a domain that is capable of phosphorylating tyrosine residues, activating a cascade of proteins that control the cell cycle. It was reported that 90% - 95% of the CML in chronic phase shows characteristic t(9;22)(q34;q11.2) reciprocal translocation that results in the Ph chromosome. This balanced translocation leads to the formation of the BCR/ABL fusion gene on chromosome 22 and a reciprocal ABL/BCR fusion gene on chromosome 9. Studies has shown that the latter gene ABL/BCR fusion gene does not seem to have any crucial role in CML and no ABL/BCR protein has been found.

Diagnosis:

Currently four FDA approved tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) - imatinib, nilotinib, dasatinib and bosutinib - are the first line of treatment for patients with newly diagnosed CML in chronic phase (CML-CP).[10] For many years, inhibitors of the specific BCR-ABL1 tyrosine kinase are considered to be the most effective targeted therapy. A subset of CML patients can demonstrate resistance to TKI therapy through mutations in ABL1 and other mechanisms. The culprit of the resistance to TKI therapy can be attributed to so-called leukemic stem cells (LSCs), pluripotent BCR-ABL1+ progenitors that are largely quiescent.[11] Therefore, understanding of signaling pathways related to survival of LSCs may be helpful.

Prognosis: Acquired resistance to imatinib therapy , mostly with mutation in BCR-ABL kinase domain, is known to be associated with poor prognosis.[12] Five prognostic factors were shown to be associated with major cytogenetic response: the absence of blasts in peripheral blood, a hemoglobin level of more than 12 g per deciliter, the presence of less than 5 percent blasts in marrow, a time from diagnosis of CML to start of treatment of less than one year, and a history of cytogenetic relapse during interferon therapy.[13]

Therapeutic implication: Studies have shown that median survival

Complete cytogenetic  response is defined as 0% of Philadelphia-chromosome (Ph)-positive cells in metaphase in bone marrow.[14]

Atypical chronic myeloid leukemia (aCML) is a subtype of myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm that lacks Philadelphia chromosome or rearrangements of PDGFRA, PDGFRB, or FGFR1. This hematological disorder has a considerable overlapping clinicopathological features with CML and CMML. It differs from CML by older median age, lower level of granulocytosis, multilineage dysplasia and lack of basophilia. Up until now, no cytogenetic changes have been associated with aCML. In peripheral blood smear, aCML typically shows granulocytic leukocytosis with striking neutrophil dysplasia (nuclear hyposegmentation and hypogranularity).

Breakpoint Cluster Region protein (BCR) is encoded by BCR gene, located on chromosome 22. BCR protein has serine/threonine kinase activity.[7] The protein is also a GTPase-activating protein for p21rac and other kinases.[15] BCR protein is involved in the two main pathways: FGFR1 mutant receptor activation and G-protein signaling HRAS regulation pathway.[16] BCR-associated genetic rearrangement gives rise to hematological disorders. The ABL1 gene is located on chromosome 9q34.12 and encodes for ABL1 protein, which was discovered to be a tyrosine kinase protein.[17] Depending on the breakpoint of the BCR gene, the size of the fusion protein can vary:  p190bcr-abl, p210bcr-abl, and p230bcr-abl, leading to three different isoforms.[7] BCR-ABL1 gene fusion encodes a chimeric protein, which is mostly 210 kDa(P210BCRABL1) with constitutive tyrosine-kinase activity, escaping the cytokine regulation and regulatory controls of many intracellular signaling pathways that are associated with proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis.[18][19] Many of the target proteins that are affected by dimerization of constitutive kinase activity of BCR-ABL fusion protein include STAT, RAS, RAF, JUN kinase, MYC, AKT, and other transducers.[20][21] It was shown that when CML progresses to the blastic crisis phase, a new additional mutation is acquired GSK3beta, which leads to the activation of beta-catenin, preventing myeloid cell lineages to mature.[22][23]

Genetic Diagnostic Testing Methods

Majority of the patients with CML are initially diagnosed through a blood test - complete blood count - before clinical manifestations. Bone marrow aspirate and core biopsy are performed sequentially to further support the process of making diagnosis as well as assessing percentage of blasts and basophils.[24] Histologic features of CML in the peripheral blood are helpful in deriving the CML diagnosis. Ancillary tests are performed to clinch the diagnosis: immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, conventional cytogenetic analysis, FISH and molecular RT-PCR-based studies.

Cytogenetic testing is used in CML patients to monitor how patients are responding to the treatment by detecting the number of cells with the Philadelphia chromosome. In conjunction with cytogenetic testing, FISH and PCR are ordered to quantify treatment  monitoring processes in CML. FISH allows the detection of BCR-ABL gene, which is essentially considered to be more of a sensitive test compared to cytogenetic testing. PCR is performed to find BCR-ABL fusion gene and other molecular abnormalities.  PCR is very efficient because it can detect even one abnormal cell from approximately 1 million healthy cells. FISH can be used in rare cases where molecular transcripts are not detected.

Continuous monitoring is part of the standard of care in CML patients because it allows the clinicians to identify treatment failure, disease evolution and drug regimen adherence. Minimal residual disease monitoring is done by using RT-PCR.  Major molecular response (MMR) is the critical goal of CML treatment. Complete or deep molecular response is achieved when there is absence of BCR-ABL1 transcript or >4.5 logs below baseline level.[25]
