Abstract excerpt
Imatinib resistance in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is commonly due to BCR-ABL kinase domain mutations (KDMs). In this single-institution retrospective analysis, patients with KDMs were identified from a cohort of patients treated for CML at our institution. Clinical outcomes were assessed based on the characteristics of the KDMs and results of cytogenetic analysis. In total, we compared 26 patients with KDM to...
