Molecular Pathogenesis and Treatment of Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia
Springer Verlag, Japan
978-4-431-56255-9 (ISBN)
Understanding of the pathogenesis and therapy of hematological malignancies such as CML has grown significantly in recent years. This development owe much to the progress in molecular biology and now makes a major contribution to diagnosis and to treatment that pharmacologically targets the molecular events of CML. Molecular targeting therapy with newly developed agents such as small molecules and antibodies for hematological malignancies are being discovered after years of research. Some of these, including tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as imatinib, nilotinib, and dasatinib, lead to increased survival rates and improved therapies. With the opinion leaders of basic and clinical research in the field as authors, this book reviews recent advances in the biology of CML.
Professor and Chairman of Department of Hematology in Saitama Medical Center, Saitama Medical University.
