Abstract

The heterogeneity and resistance of chronic myelogenous leukemia in blastic phase (CML-BP) are attributed to: (1) the involvement of the earliest progenitor cell by the disease ptocess and (2) the acquisition of multiple mutational events during the evolution from the chronic to the blastic phase.
