Yes, someone diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) can go into remission or become leukemia-free. Here are some key points:

- Remission: Many people with CML can achieve remission, where signs and symptoms of leukemia go away. This is often achieved through treatment with Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs) like imatinib.
