BCR-ABL1 doubling times more reliably assess the dynamics of CML relapse compared with the BCR-ABL1 fold rise: implications for monitoring and management
20 Mar 2012
Abstract excerpt
Rising BCR-ABL1 transcripts indicate potential loss of imatinib response in CML. We determined whether the BCR-ABL1 doubling time could distinguish nonadherence from resistance as the cause of lost response. Distinct groups were examined: (1) acquired clinical resistance because of blast crisis and/or BCR-ABL1 mutations; and (2) documented imatinib discontinuation/interruption. Short doubling times occurred with...
