Adherence to Monitoring Tests in Patients With Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in Lebanon

The present study was performed to determine whether the adherence to regular follow-up assessments using standardized real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and/or cytogenetic tests in Lebanese patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) meet the European LeukemiaNet recommendations. The present study was a retrospective analysis of 34 patients diagnosed with chronic phase CML who had been treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors and monitored with regular cytogenetic tests and/or measurement of the BCR-ABL transcript level at 3, 6, and 12 months from 2006 until 2015 in 3 university hospitals in Lebanon.
