About World CML Day: Initiated by the patient community in 2008, September 22 (9/22) has marked World CML Day because of its symbolic significance – the disease is caused by the change of chromosomes 9 and 22. On this day, patients across the globe come together to raise awareness about their needs to the general public, politicians, and medical professionals across the world.

How the My PCR Campaign relates to World CML Day: The 2016 World CML Day is also a significant date for the My PCR Campaign as it marks three years since the initial launch of the campaign. The My PCR campaign is a patient driven global awareness effort, carried out in partnership with a coalition of CML-focused organizations that aims to increase awareness about the need to monitor CML treatment and the right of every patient to know their test results.
