Chronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL) is extremely rare, with only about 200 cases ever reported. Treatments for CNL aim to reduce symptoms and may include:

- Chemotherapy: Often the initial treatment, though CNL can become resistant.
- Immunotherapy: Intron A (interferon alfa-2b) may be used.
- Targeted Therapy: Jakafi (ruxolitinib) is being studied and has shown positive outcomes.
- Stem Cell Transplant: The only potential cure, involving replacing diseased blood cells with healthy ones.

Treatment plans may change if CNL transforms into acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
