Hi,
To my knowledge, the WBC has no effect on risk or prognosis. I've seen patients with WBC's in the 500's who were in solid chronic phase and others with a WBC of 12 in blast phase. A more accurate indication of risk is platelet count, blast count and basophil count and spleen size. I just didn't want John to worry unnessesarily.
