Cancer: Cancer is a condition where cells in a specific body part grow and reproduce uncontrollably. The cancerous cells can invade and destroy surrounding healthy tissue, including organs. Cancer sometimes begins in one body part before spreading to other areas.

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is also known as chronic myelogenous leukemia. It is a type of cancer that begins in the bone marrow's blood-forming cells.

Polycythemia vera is a form of blood cancer (pol-e-sy-THEE-me-uh VEER-uh). It causes your bone marrow to produce an abnormally large number of red blood cells. These extra cells thicken your blood, delaying its flow and even causing major complications like blood clots.

Essential thrombocythemia (ET) is a rare blood condition that causes an abnormally large amount of platelets to develop in the blood. These are blood cells that help with coagulation. Clotting is referred to as thrombosis, and blood cells are referred to as cythaemia.

Myelofibrosis (MF) is a rare type of blood cancer characterized by the formation of scar tissue, known as 'fibrosis,' in the bone marrow. As scar tissue grows, the bone marrow is unable to produce enough healthy blood cells.
