Abstract:
The blast phase of chronic myelogeneous leukaemia (BP-CML) still remains a difficult entity to understand pathogenetically and to treat. In recent years, advances have been made in our understanding of the molecular biology and the pathogenesis of this disorder. Although three new agents have been introduced with some success for treating this disease, namely imatinib, dasatinib and nilotinib, response durations are limited. For those patients who achieve a remission following the use of one of the aforementioned drugs, bone marrow transplantation is recommended.

Disorders of Leukocytes
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune system...
