ExcerptRelevanceReference
"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."1.29Case report of spontaneous remission of cytogenetic relapse of chronic myelogenous leukemia suggestive of progression to blast crisis after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. ( Agaliotis, DP; Elfenbein, GJ; Moscinski, LC; Papenhausen, PR, 1995)
