[Effect of patients' gender on the course of chronic myeloid leukemia].
1997
: Chronic myeloid leukemia course was evaluated versus sex in 271 patients. Chronic stage involved more pronounced leukocytosis, thrombocytosis and splenomegaly in females, the latter showing higher susceptibility to anemia. As a result, treatment has to deal with a greater mass of tumor. A relatively longer survival time in males (44 and 42 months, respectively) suggest a higher effectiveness of therapy in such patients. When diagnosed, leukocytosis, thrombocytosis, enhanced splenomegaly and anemia should be regarded as factors of unfavorable prognosis.
