Logo World Cancer DayFebruary 2021 - Today is World Cancer Day. I Am and I Will.

WE ARE a global Foundation with the mission to improve the outcomes of patients with CML globally and WE WILL be working towards a cure for CML.

"There are currently estimated to be over 800,000 CML patients globally. CML is predicted to become the most prevalent leukaemia by 2040 when there are projected to be over 3 million patients worldwide. A concerted global effort working towards a cure is imperative.
The iCMLf is uniquely positioned to drive this effort.” 
(Tim Hughes, iCMLf Chairman)

Let’s create a future without CML. The time to act is now.

Learn more about the iCMLf CURE Consortium and how we bring interested parties together on specific projects under the banner of cure.

 DSC3463 KopieJanuary 2021 - Finding a cure for CML remains a long-term goal of the Foundation. In 2021 the iCMLf will not only continue to support the global CML community through the pandemic, but also shift our efforts back towards the iCMLf Cure Consortium once again.

As a first important step, we are allocating US$100,000 of iCMLf funds raised through the iCMLf Climb for a Cure and iCMLf Run.Ride.Cure to the iCMLf Treatment Free Remission (TFR) Alliance to establish a global registry of TFR cases, for the purpose of improving our understanding regarding the determinants of TFR.

The iCMLf is calling for applications to build and maintain a global registry of TFR cases, for the predominant purpose of improving our understanding regarding the determinants of TFR.

The call for expressions of interest is now closed.
