TLDR
Primordial aspects of the pathogenesis of CML, such as the mechanisms responsible for the transition from chronic phase to blast crisis, the causes of genomic instability and faulty DNA repair, the phenomenon of stem cell quiescence, the role of tumor suppressors in TKI resistance and CML progression, still remain poorly understood are synthesized.

Chronic Myeloid Leukemia: An Update of Concepts and Management Recommendations of European LeukemiaNet

TL;DR: Imatinib should be continued indefinitely in optimal responders and second-generation TKIs are recommended, followed by allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation only in instances of failure and, sometimes, suboptimal response, depending on transplantation risk.

Targeting neoantigens to augment antitumour immunity

TL;DR: This Review discusses the emerging evidence that neoantigens are recognized by the immune system and can be targeted to increase antitumour immunity, and provides a framework for personalized cancer immunotherapy through the identification and selective targeting of individual tumour neoantIGens.

Modular PROTAC Design for the Degradation of Oncogenic BCR-ABL

TL;DR: During the course of their development, it was discovered that the capacity of a PROTAC to induce degradation involves more than just target binding: the identity of the inhibitor warhead and the recruited E3 ligase largely determine the degradation profiles of the compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI

Small molecules in targeted cancer therapy: advances, challenges, and future perspectives.

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of small-molecule targeted anti-cancer drugs according to the target classification is conducted, which presents all the approved drugs as well as important drug candidates in clinical trials for each target, and discusses the current challenges.

Clinical resistance to STI-571 cancer therapy caused by BCR-ABL gene mutation or amplification

TL;DR: It is found that drug resistance is associated with the reactivation of BCR-ABL signal transduction in all cases examined and a strategy for identifying inhibitors of STI-571 resistance is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Induction of chronic myelogenous leukemia in mice by the P210bcr/abl gene of the Philadelphia chromosome

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that P210bcr/abl expression can induce chronic myelogenous leukemia and retrovirus-mediated expression of the protein provides a murine model system for further analysis of the disease.

Overriding Imatinib Resistance with a Novel ABL Kinase Inhibitor

TL;DR: BMS-354825 is an orally bioavailable ABL kinase inhibitor with two-log increased potency relative to imatinib that retains activity against 14 of 15 imatinIB-resistant BCR-ABL mutants and illustrates how molecular insight into kinase inhibitors resistance can guide the design of second-generation targeted therapies.
