The acquisition of additional cytogenetic changes (clonal evolution, CE) during treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) with imatinib mesylate is currently regarded as an index of increasing resistance to imatinib. Therefore, to investigate whether CE as an isolated event increases the risk of disease progression during imatinib treatment, we compared the outcome of patients with CML in chronic phase (CML-CP) who developed CE whilst in complete hematologic remission with the outcome of comparable patients in complete hematologic remission who showed no evidence of CE.
