Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative disorder characterized by clonal expansion of cells in the myeloid line, expressing the BCR-ABL fusion protein responsible for the oncogenic effect of CML. The current frontline therapy in CML is the BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitor, Imatinib. Although this drug has been shown to improve survival in CML patients, its role in the context of a transplant setting has not been widely described in the literature. We report on the long term molecular remission of CML in a 55 year old man with a second renal transplant who is hepatitis C virus positive, and has associated cardiovascular and immunological risk factors.
