Özet

The significance of molecular response depth is not well defined in patients with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CP-CML) under imatinib treatment. We retrospectively evaluated clinical records of 178 patients with CP-CML. Eighty-eight patients achieved complete molecular response during long term follow-up. Our results implicate that deeper molecular response is associated with improvement in disease outcome and a slight prolongation in progression-free survival.
