Summary

Major therapeutic progress has been accomplished in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) over the past 40 years. Therapeutic progress happened through better understanding of disease pathophysiologiy and rational development of targeted agents, like imatinib mesylate in CML. This report will discuss the key studies related to CML or MDS, presented during the 2015 annual ASH meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH).
