ABSTRACT
Tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) may significantly improve the treatment outcome in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).It is the most frequent question about whether the patients with durable complete molecular response (CMR) can safely discontinue TKI treatment without relapse.This has focused attention on the strategies to eradicate residual CML cells,especially the CML stem cells,which should result in long term leukemia-free survival and permanent cure.Here,the progress on discontinuation of TKI therapy and alternative approaches to eradicating CML stem cells in the 55th ASH annual meeting is reviewed.
