Treatment of CML
if patient is less than 60 yo , Do bone marrow transplantation ( only chance to cure the disease )
In patients more than 60 yo or without a donor , Interferon alfa can prolong survival and can eliminate the Philadelphia cromosome . If failed , You can use hydroxyurea which is used to reduce the number of white cells , Hydroxyurea cannot cure the disease , it 's simply cytoreductive
The most specific treatment for CML is STS571 (Gleevec ) also called IMITANIB , this one is a specific inhibitor of tyrosine kinase
