Popis: The incidence of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) associated with pregnancy is estimated to be 1/75,000. Several types of treatments have been used for CML during pregnancy. These are cytotoxic drugs, alpha-interferone, splenic irradiation (with shielding of the uterus) and leukapheresis. Hydroxyurea is a cytotoxic drug that inhibits the synthesis of DNA and can be used both in the chronic and accelerated phases of CML (1).
