Researchers have explored the evolution of the genetic change that causes chronic myeloid leukaemia and show its ability to drive the disease.

This is called the "spent phase." Research suggests polycythemia vera turns into another blood cancer in less than 20% of cases. It usually happens during the later stages of the disease.
