Abstract
Although imatinib mesylate therapy has dramatically improved the prognosis of patients in the advanced phases of chronic myeloid leukemia, room for improvement remains. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors are undergoing evaluation as second-line therapy for patients with imatinib-resistant disease. Kantarjian et al. recently demonstrated that once-daily dasatinib 140 mg is well tolerated and achieves a high response rate.Entities:
