Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The molecular pathogenesis of resistance against tyrosine kinase inhibitors imatinib, nilotinib, or dasatinib in patients treated for chronic myeloid leukemia is best understood based on mutations within the ABL-kinase domain. However, in about 50% of patients, clinical resistance so far cannot be linked to known mutations. Mutation-independent resistance development is imparted by a...
