Article Synopsis
  • Tyrosine kinase inhibitors effectively manage chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) by targeting the BCR-ABL oncogene but do not eliminate CML stem cells, leading to potential relapses.
  • Evidence from bone marrow transplants shows the immune system can potentially reject CML stem cells, indicating a path toward a cure.
  • Modern immunotherapeutic strategies, such as using autologous dendritic cells and monoclonal antibodies, offer promising avenues for enhancing immune responses and improving treatment outcomes for CML.
