Laboratory Monitoring of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in Patients on Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors

Abstract: Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by translocation of genetic material from chromosome 9 to chromosome 22 to form a fusion gene (BCR-ABL1) that is responsible for abnormal tyrosine kinase activity and alteration of various downstream signaling pathways. In addition to morphological diagnosis of CML phase, it is essential to detect BCR-ABL1 fusion by either metaphase cytogenetics or reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction that also determines type of mRNA tran… Show more

“…Thus, molecular monitoring of PCR-ABL1 by reverse transcriptase quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) is done at regular intervals. 22 In the present study, treatment response was achieved in 80% of patients with CML. Responders had significantly lower Sokal score when compared with non-responders in agreement with previous reports.…”

“…According to worldwide cancer data by the American Institute for Cancer Research, the global incidence of CML ranges from 0.7 per 100,000 to 1.5 per 100,000 persons. The lowest incidence is in Sweden therapy, considered the first-line treatment for newly diagnosed CML 2,3 and China, and the highest in Switzerland and the United States. 4 CML is an age-related disease that commonly affects the elderly (6 years old) in western countries and 50 years in Africa and Asia.…”
