What is blastic phase of CML?
Blast crisis phase is the third and final stage of chronic myeloid leukemia, a form of cancer where large amounts of immature white blood cells grow in the bone marrow, blood, organs, and tissue. Without treatment for blast crisis CML, this condition is fatal, with a survival rate of around 2–3 years.

How can you distinguish between AML and CML blast crisis?
AML and CML are blood and bone marrow cancers that affect the same lines of white blood cells. AML comes on suddenly as very immature cells crowd out normal cells in the bone marrow. CML comes on more slowly, with the CML cells growing out of control.

- Stage IV. The blood has too many lymphocytes.
