I have included a link to this webcast under Newswire as it is a recent update on the latest inhibitors under study.
This quote from Stephen Nimer, MD is of particular interest for the future...
"The idea would be, with these new drugs, that you can get patients who have complete cytogenetic responses and even complete molecular responses and that would be the ideal situation to introduce the vaccine and maybe the vaccine could allow the immune system to get rid of the last few remaining cells in the body. We're learning a lot about cancers and we're learning a lot about how to develop new treatments. So I'm incredibly optimistic. It's a wonderful time to be a physician treating these diseases and, hopefully, at some point, we'll learn what causes these things and we'll be able to decrease the incidence of these diseases. But we do have a lot more to offer patients than we've ever had before."
There are also some very good animations in this webcast which show how these sort of drugs work to inhibit the protein that drives CML cells
