Abstract

The objective of chronic myeloid leukemia treatment is to remove the platelets that contain the strange BCR-ABL gene that causes the high number of infected platelets. For the vast majority, it's unrealistic to dispose of every sick cell, yet treatment can accomplish a long haul remission of the disease.
