Abstract excerpt
The successful implementation of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) remains a flagship for molecularly targeted therapy in cancer. This focused review highlights critical elements of the underlying biology of CML and provides a summary of the molecular mechanisms that lead to TKI resistance: BCR-ABL1 mutation-based resistance and therapy escape through...
