Navigating Challenges in Monitoring Chronic Myeloid Leukemia with Multiple BCR-ABL1 Transcripts

Quantitative PCR-based strategies are typically effective for monitoring BCR-ABL1 transcript levels in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Additionally, some patients treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors can experience long-term treatment-free remission after discontinuation of the inhibitor. However...
