2 Figure 1 Patterns of imatinib resistance in CML
Patients treated with imatinib either clear the Philadelphia chromosome from the bone marrow (complete cytogenetic response) or demonstrate primary molecular resistance to the drug. Many patients with molecular resistance have a sustained hematologic response and benefit from continuing treatment. Among patients with cytogenetic responses, some will acquire resistance to imatinib and will relapse with reemergence of the Philadelphia chromosome in the bone marrow.
