Azathioprine: An immunosuppressive agent used in combination with cyclophosphamide and hydroxychloroquine in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. According to the Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP 85-002, 1985), this substance has been listed as a known carcinogen. (Merck Index, 11th ed)
azathioprine : A thiopurine that is 6-mercaptopurine in which the mercapto hydrogen is replaced by a 1-methyl-4-nitroimidazol-5-yl group. It is a prodrug for mercaptopurine and is used as an immunosuppressant, prescribed for the treatment of inflammatory conditions and after organ transplantation and also for treatment of Crohn's didease and MS.
Blast Crisis: An advanced phase of chronic myelogenous leukemia, characterized by a rapid increase in the proportion of immature white blood cells (blasts) in the blood and bone marrow to greater than 30%.

| "Detection of the chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML)-related marker, the bcr/abl m-RNA transcript, in blood or bone marrow of patients with CML in hematologic remission after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (allo-BMT) may be associated with the presence of minimal residual disease but does not uniformly predict hematologic relapse." | 1.29 | Case report of spontaneous remission of cytogenetic relapse of chronic myelogenous leukemia suggestive of progression to blast crisis after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.
