Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The treatment, prognosis, and management of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) changed significantly during the last two decades. At the beginning of 2000, the introduction of TKIs allowed the disease’s blastic transformation to be prevented and for the survival to be significantly prolonged in 90% of patients. Moreover, many improvements have been made in hot topics such as cell biology, prognosis, drug development, and therapy driven by molecular response. Nevertheless, the scientific community is still focused on several criticisms concerning: the eradication of Ph+ leukemic stem cell, the detection and monitoring of minimal residual disease by RT-qPCR, digital-PCR, NGS or more advanced techniques, the adherence and resistance to TKIs therapy, the optimization of therapy by drug, risk- and age-adapted strategies aiming to treatment-free remission (TFR) or quality of life.
In this Special Issue, improvements, criticisms, and perspective on CML prognosis and therapy will be discussed.
