First sentence: Although chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) can be grouped together for some purposes, they differ in many ways, CML being a disease with well-defined progressive stages (chronic phase; acceleration; transformation) occurring in middle life, whereas CLL is a relatively indolent disease involving mainly the elderly.
