Overview

In the 1840s, the first cases of chronic myelogenous leukemia (splenomegaly with high leukocyte count) was reported in France, Germany, and Scotland. In 1960, the association of Philadelphia chromosome with the pathogenesis of chronic myelogenous leukemia was first discovered. In 1973, (9;22) translocation was first discovered. Definition of the breakpoint cluster region (BCR) on chromosome 22 was first reported in 1984 and the demonstration of the BCR-ABL transcript in CML was first discovered in 1985. From 1980 onwards allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) became the treatment of choice for eligible patients. In 1998, the era of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) began.[1][2]
