Abstract

Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is characterized by the Philadelphia chromosome, an acquired clonal abnormality resulting from translocation of chromosomes 9 and 22, and the generation of the BCR-ABL fusion oncogene. The development of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has revolutionized the treatment of CML, as TKI therapy leads to inhibition of BCR-ABL activity, suppression of the BCR-ABL-containing clone and restoration of normal hematopoiesis in the vast majority of cases.
