Abstract excerpt
With the increasing use of new tyrosine kinase inhibitors it has been suggested that the spectrum of kinase domain mutations may change and possible selection of new resistant clones may occur. We describe a Ph + chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) patient with primary resistance to imatinib who received without success sequential therapy with multiple TKIs, and developed sequential emergence of kinase domain...
