Interferon-␣ (IFN-␣) alone or in combination with cytostatic drugs can induce major and durable cytogenetic responses in about 20 to 25% of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients. Since these patients have a significant survival benefit, more frequent follow-up investigations have become clinically
## Background: Patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (cml) occasionally experience persistent thrombocythemia despite having adequate white blood cell (wbc) counts. trimethylenethiophosphoramide (thiotepa) is an alkylating agent that significantly inhibits platelet production. ## Methods: Th
We report the sublocalization of the breakpoint in chromosome 22 in 33 patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who also had unusual marrow cytogenetics. In 23 patients, the leukemic clones were characterized by Philadelphia (Ph') chromosomes that arose through complex translocations that involv
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND: Nilotinib is a selective, potent BCR‐ABL inhibitor. Previous studies demonstrated the efficacy and safety of nilotinib in Philadelphia chromosome‐positive chronic myeloid leukemia patients in chronic phase (CML‐CP) or accelerated phase who failed prior imatinib. ## METH
