abstract = {Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a malignant hematopoietic stem cell proliferative disease driven by BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase, the product of the Philadelphia chromosome1. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have revolutionized the treatment of CML. Such molecule directed against BCR-ABL firsrt introduced into clinical practice was imatinib mesylate (IM, Gleevec/Glivec, formerly STI571), which showed excellent efficacy in terms of prolonged major molecular response (MMR) and progression-free survival2. Replacing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, IM is currently recommended as the first-line therapy for CML by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) and European Leukemia Net (ELN).},
