Potential new CML treatment?

Just browsing the net and came across this article.

https://www.clinicalomics.com/topics/oncology/leukemia/potential-alterna...

I already read that a few days ago. Seems promising, but I do not yell yet ...

Sure, but nice to see other developments considering that for the vast majority do well with TKI there are many that don't and it's good that they haven't forgotten those that don't if you know what I mean.

I agree Alex, nice to see that research is going on, for the minority for whom TKIs fail. Nice not to be forgotten.

Absolutely sunny. At anytime anyone can fail TKI. So it’s important for research to continue and not put all our eggs in one basket.

You are talking about research for TKI failure, No we need research for true cure !

Today, together, more than ever. For a life without CML !

Well technically we need both. That way we cover those don’t respond to TKI Those that do and potentially cure us all one day. The latter bit I’d imagine is a long way off. Who knows.

Do you mean we do badly on TKI ?

TKI works for the “vast” majority but we have to be mindful their are some in the region of 5-10% of people that they don’t work on! That’s why sometimes I feel bad harping on about symptoms when some poor people have a far worse ordeal. I am just saying it’s good to be mindful that their are those few who don’t benefit from TKI and make this a very scary cancer like other types of Leukaemia. As far as I know this is CMLSupport not TKICMLSupport....

Oooh I see, I understand your comment.smiley

Indeed, I know someone who was intolerable for all TKI,s. He had a Allo-SCT, but the CML returned ...
