15 Dec 2001
Abstract excerpt
STI571 induces sustained hematologic remission in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in chronic phase. However, in advanced phases, especially blast crisis, the leukemia usually becomes resistant within months. It has been investigated whether resistance to STI571 is stable and immutable or whether it can be reversed in selected CML cell lines. Withdrawal of STI571 for varying lengths of time from...
