Clinicopathological Variables and Outcome in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Associated With BCR-ABL1 Transcript Type and Body Weight: An Outcome of European LeukemiaNet Project

Abstract: Objective It is debatable whether BCR-ABL1 transcript type has an impact on outcome of treatment of patients with CML, and it is not widely studied whether body weight influences response to treatment. In this study, we tried to find out if any of these factors has an impact on response to treatment and outcome. Methodology We conducted a retrospective analysis of the files of 79 patients being treated in our center for CML with known BCR-ABL1 breakpoints, and patients’ management and response assessment was d… Show more

“…Clinically, CML can be divided based on progression into three phases: the chronic phase is when most patients are diagnosed; the accelerated phase characterized by impairment of neutrophil differentiation; and the blast phase in which myeloid cells proliferate uncontrollably, resembling acute leukemia [ 5 , 6 , 8 , 9 ]. The diagnosis of CML involves several steps, starting with a peripheral blood smear that typically shows neutrophilia, followed by bone marrow biopsy, and finally, testing for the BCR-ABL fusion gene or mRNA that are confirmatory for the disease [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ].…”

“…It is still unclear what is the best available therapy for those patients and whether to start with imatinib [ 10 ] upfront or dasatinib/nilotinib [ 11 ], and it remains one of the unmet needs and unanswered questions regarding CML treatment in different conditions, which we have shed the light on in previous articles such as CML with obesity [ 12 ], obesity-related surgeries [ 13 ], intermittent fasting [ 14 ], hepatitis [ 15 ], and tuberculosis [ 16 ].…”
