We report the case of a man with chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML) and a 46,XY,t(5;9;22) karyotype who developed acute myelocytic leukemia (AML) with a 45,X,t(8;21) karyotype 11 years after bone marrow transplantation (BMT) from his HLA-matched sister. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) studie
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients with persistent or relapsed disease following bone-marrow transplantation (BMT) usually show both clonal and non-clonal cytogenetic changes in addition to the Philadelphia (Ph) translocation. These changes are presumably due to conditioning prior to transplant
## Abstract Imatinib mesylate (IM) is the standard firstβline treatment for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Surprisingly, 2β15% of patients achieving a complete cytogenetic response develop cytogenetic abnormalities in Philadelphia (Ph)βnegative cells. Following hematopoietic stem cel
