	<b><span>Background</span></b><b><span>:</span></b><span> This document includes recommendations and guidelines issued by a group of Mexican researchers and specialists gathered in the First National Colloquium for the Diagnosis and Management of Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia (CML) by initiative of Instituto Nacional de Cancerolog¨ªa and with the support of the Leukaemia Department of the MD Anderson Cancer Cent</span><span>e</span><span>r. Mexico lacks of updated information taken from its own reality on the diagnosis and treatment of CML and other haematological disorders; besides, there are no national guidelines. <b>Aim</b></span><b><span>:</span></b><span> To publish a consensus document with guidelines for the management of CML adjusted to the national environment and overall characteristics. <b>Method</b></span><b><span>:</span></b><span> The participants answered a DELPHI questionnaire about the overall aspects of the disease, aiming to target controversial topics, discuss them in the colloquium, and to agree on the best ones. After those meetings, a final document was drawn up. <b>Results</b></span><b><span>:</span></b><span> The group presents recommendations for definition, diagnosis, prognosis, monitoring, and treatment of CML in Mexico. <b>Conclusions</b></span><b><span>:</span></b><span> Having consensus guidelines for the clinical management of CML in our country will enable the consensual practice of Mexican specialists regarding the clinical approach to CML, as well as optimize the resources which allow the rational planning of the medical care strategies.</span><span></span>
