摘要: Purpose Imatinib induces sustained remissions in patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), but fails to eradicate CML stem cells. This is of major concern regarding the issues cure, long-term imatinib tolerability, and resistance. We therefore asked whether interferon alfa-2a (IFN) alone could maintain molecular achieved by a prior combination therapy IFN. Patients Methods was stopped 20 who had concomitantly been pretreated IFN for median 2.4 years (range, 0.2 4.8 years) 2.5 4.9 years), respectively. After discontinuation, remission status monitored monthly quantitative analysis peripheral-blood BCR-ABL mRNA levels using real-time polymerase chain reaction. Proteinase-3 expression proteinase-3–specific cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) were longitudinally measured assess putative markers response. Results With time after ima...
