摘要
On current chemotherapeutic regimens, children with Philadelphia positive acute lymphoblastic leukaemia show a heterogeneous response to treatment. A few respond quickly to treatment and achieve long-term remission. Some fail to achieve remission after induction and the majority respond slowly to treatment. Relapse on treatment is common and remission is sustained in a proportion of cases only after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT). The use of imatinib along with conventional cytoreductive therapy, prior to allo-SCT appears to be the most promising strategy. The future lies in the molecular evaluation of response to treatment and combination targeted chemotherapy.
