We’re excited to announce our collaboration with CancerWorld magazine! This special issue is about the 25th anniversary of an oral medication for chronic myeloid leukemia that transformed treatment, diagnostics, access, and patient advocacy.
It features articles from the global community, including clinicians, researchers, patients, and advocates. Learn more about how a woman living with CML started helping others navigate their diagnosis, or the successes and challenges that come with providing treatment in a low-income country. Each voice has something special to share.

Spot On CML: Improving CML Diagnostics One Patient at a Time
February 21, 2018 · The Max Foundation and Dr. Jerry Radich of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center are partnering to help tackle the problem of access to accurate tests for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) diagnostics in low- and middle-income countries through Spot On CML. Spot On CML is a low-cost, paper-based diagnostic testing method for CML, developed by Dr. Radich’s lab at Fred Hutch. Through a Spot On CML test, a physician spots a patient’s blood onto a paper test card and sends it to Dr. Radich’s lab for processing, where they perform accurate diagnostic testing on the samples even after weeks of transport. Once patients are diagnosed, The Max Foundation connects them with available treatments free of charge.
