Modern Management Options for Ph+ ALL.

ABSTRACT: Impressive advances have been achieved in the management of patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL) since the initial concurrent use of imatinib and standard chemotherapy. The attenuation of chemotherapy has proven to be equally effective and less toxic, the use of third generation TKI upfront has improved the frequency of complete molecular response and the survival rate, and the combination of tyrosine kinase inhibitors with immunotherapy has further increased the rate of molecular response to 70-80% after consolidation, which has been translated into a survival rate of 75-90% in recent trials. As a result of these improvements, the role of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is being redefined. The methodology of measurable re
