USA: The National CML Society
Member’s description
The National CML Society was created by and for patients and their families in order to provide a centralized hub of information for this rare form of leukemia.

In December 2009, the organization became The National CML Society (NCMLS), serving the needs of the CML community in the United States and its Territories.
