    Abstract

    Patients with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia who respond to imatinib have a rapid initial decrease in BCR-ABL transcript levels (α), followed by a slow decline (β). The rate of β decrease is consistent with declining leukemic stem cells and may predict which patients may safely discontinue therapy.
