Renal tuberculosis in an imatinib-treated chronic myeloid leukemia
Imatinib, which inhibits tyrosine kinase activity of Bcr-Abl protein, is a standard form of treatment for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Through its immunomodulatory effect it affects T cell function in a number of ways.

Induction of apoptosis by shikonin through a ROS/JNK-mediated process in Bcr/Abl-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) cells [PDF]
This study examined the signaling events induced by shikonin that lead to the induction of apoptosis in Bcr/Abl-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) cells (e.g., K562, LAMA84). Treatment of K562 cells with shikonin (e.g., 0.5 muM) resulted in profound induction of apoptosis accompanied by rapid generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS ...

ACUTE UNDIFFERENTIATED LEUKEMIA WITH BCR-ABL TRANSLOCATION: CASE REPORT AND LITERATURE REVIEW
The 2016 WHO classification defines acute undifferentiated leukemia (AUL) as a rare type of acute leukemia (AL) without defining markers for either lymphoid or myeloid lineage commitment.

A phase 2 study of MK-0457 in patients with BCR-ABL T315I mutant chronic myelogenous leukemia and philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia [PDF]
Aurora kinase overexpression has been observed in patients with hematologic malignancies. MK-0457, a pan-aurora kinase inhibitor that also inhibits the ABL T315I mutant, was evaluated to treat patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) or Philadelphia chromosome (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with the T315I mutation.

Does thyroid dysfunction happen in CML patients receiving Imatinib for treatment? [PDF]
Chronic myelogenous leukemia is a myeloproliferative disorder presenting with anemia, elevated blood granulocytosis and the presence of immature granulocytes, basophilia, frequently thrombocytosis and spleen enlargement.

Polycythemia vera masked due to severe iron deficiency anemia
Polycythemia vera is one of the chronic myeloproliferative diseases and very few patients present with its actual clinical manifestations. The most common findings are increased red cell mass and an increased leukocyte count with decreased erythropoietin.

In 5%-10% of patients with of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), the Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) is not identified, despite the presence of the associated BCR-ABL molecular abnormality (Ph-negative, BCR-ABL-positive CML) because of sub-microscopic rearrangements.Six patients with Ph-negative, BCR-ABL-positive CML were investigated.

Synergistic activity of the new ABL-specific tyrosine kinase inhibitor STI571 and chemotherapeutic drugs on BCR-ABL-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia cells [PDF]
The ABL-specific tyrosine kinase inhibitor STI571 (formerly CGP57148B) induced cytogenetic remissions in 33% of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) patients in a phase I trial (Druker et al 1999). Combination therapy may increase this proportion. We tested whether combinations of STI571 and cytarabine or other chemotherapeutic agents such as hydroxyurea,
