Abstract
Chronic myeloid leukemia now is a disease which in the most cases is well manageable with tyrosine kinase inhibitors treatment. Still however the only potentially curable therapeutic approach is for chronic myeloid leukemia allogeneic stem cell transplantation. 30-years old woman was diagnosed as a relapse 18 years after sibling matched donor allotransplantation. After a short cytoreductive treatment imatinib was given in standard dose. Then due to hematological toxicities the dose was diminished to 100 mg. The patient has maintained major molecular response since 2,5 years.
