1,140 deaths per year FROM CML seems high.

Yes. It does. In my opinion, the American CC is the worst place to go to get info when dx (very gloom and doom and lotsa talk about death). It is weird that an article that talks about CP CML would put in such a ubiquitous quote at the end--it doesn't equate.
Boo! to the author who does not understand what he is writing about! Anyway, the annual death rate quoted is likely due to those dx in AP or BP and the minority of folks dx in CP that progress despite treatment.
Grumble, grumble...

The stats they use came from averaging many years of data, back to before TKI drugs. Using stats that way when there has been a course altering change like TKI drugs is poor statistical practice, to say the least.

This number of deaths should not be only the disease more also caused by its effects.
