Since very few unusual BCR/ABL fusion transcripts in chronic myeloid leukemia have been reported, no clear evidence exists concerning their clinical and prognostic implications. We describe here a CML case with normal karyotype at standard cytogenetics and an atypical e6a2 BCR/ABL fusion transcript,
Imatinib mesylate (IM) therapy leads to a complete cytogenetic response (CCyR) in 75-90% of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) patients in chronic phase, but only a small percentage of patients achieve complete molecular response (CMR). Very little is known about IM discontinuation. We report the case o
## BACKGROUND. T-cell lymphoid blastic phase (BP) transformation is rare in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). 2-amino-9-β€-D-arabinosyl-6-methoxy-9H-guanine (GW506U78), a prodrug of arabinosylguanine (ara-G), is effective in T-cell leukemias. ## METHODS. The authors present a case of a 48-year
