Imatinib mesylate, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is the first choice in chronic myeloid leukemia treatment. However, resistance to imatinib may develop with time and in some cases, patients may not respond at all to imatinib. Progressive resistance to imatinib therapy is often due to mutations in the BCR/ABL region. Within the scope of our study 124 patients were evaluated via pyrosequencing between 2015 and 2020....
