Chronic phase

The chronic phase is a later stage of certain diseases, like leukemia, where the condition progresses slowly over time. In this phase, symptoms may be less severe or may appear gradually, allowing for a longer period of manageable health before more serious issues develop. Treatment during the chronic phase often focuses on controlling the disease and maintaining quality of life. It contrasts with the earlier, more aggressive phases, where symptoms might be sudden or intense. Understanding the chronic phase helps patients and doctors manage the disease effectively during this extended period.
