Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is a type of cancer that starts in blood-forming cells of the bone marrow and invades the blood.

CONT

Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is a myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative disease. This means that it has characteristics of both myelodysplastic syndromes and myeloproliferative disorders. ... CMML is a disease in which too many stem cells in the bone marrow develop into 2 types of white blood cells, called monocytes and myelocytes. Some of the cells do not develop into mature white blood cells. The immature cells are called blasts. Gradually the blasts, monocytes and myelocytes crowd out the red blood cells and platelets in the bone marrow.
