Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Targeted treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia using imatinib has dramatically improved patient outcome. However, residual disease can be detected in the majority of patients treated with imatinib. Compensatory activation of MAP kinases (MAPK1/2) in response to BCR-ABL-inhibitors has been reported as a potential cytokine-dependent resistance mechanism leading to the rescue of leukemic progenitor...
