Applications of Machine Learning in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by dysregulated growth and the proliferation of myeloid cells in the bone marrow caused by the BCR-ABL1 fusion gene. Clinically, CML demonstrates an increased production of mature and maturing granulocytes, mainly neutroph...

description Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by dysregulated growth and the proliferation of myeloid cells in the bone marrow caused by the BCR-ABL1 fusion gene. Clinically, CML demonstrates an increased production of mature and maturing granulocytes, mainly neutrophils. When a patient is suspected to have CML, peripheral blood smears and bone marrow biopsies may be manually examined by a hematologist. However, confirmatory testing for the BCR-ABL1 gene is still needed to confirm the diagnosis. Despite tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) being the mainstay of treatment for patients with CML, different agents should be used in different patients given their stage of disease and comorbidities. Moreover, some patients do not respond well to certain agents and some need more aggressive courses of therapy. Given the innovations and development that machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) have undergone over the years, multiple models and algorithms have been put forward to help in the assessment and treatment of CML. In this review, we summarize the recent studies utilizing ML algorithms in patients with CML. The search was conducted on the PubMed/Medline and Embase databases and yielded 66 full-text articles and abstracts, out of which 11 studies were included after screening against the inclusion criteria. The studies included show potential for the clinical implementation of ML models in the diagnosis, risk assessment, and treatment processes of patients with CML.
