What makes blood so special that it features in widespread myths? Although blood accounts for less than 10 percent of human body weight, it is quite literally the elixir of life. As blood travels through the vessels of the cardiovascular system, it delivers vital substances such as nutrients and oxygen to all of the cells and carries away their metabolic wastes.

CML is associated with the Philadelphia chromosome due to a translocation of chromosomes 9 and 22. Imatinib mesylate (Gleevec) is a key treatment that can effectively control CML progression and shows promise for other cancers.

Leukocytes protect the body against invading microorganisms and body cells with mutated DNA, and they clean up debris. Platelets are essential for the repair of blood vessels when damage to them has occurred; they also provide growth factors for healing and repair.

Originating from mutated cells, cancers involve genetic diversity and are driven by cancer stem cells. Common causes include DNA-damaging agents and viruses, although cancer itself is not contagious. Notably, certain viral infections can elevate cancer risk.
