It was not really clear to me what the authors meant in the article. It does not specifically say that "unsatisfactory" response and "Gleevec" are connected nor does it say what specific treatment methods the "70%" probability consists of. The article was translated from Polish and the full text is not yet available as far as I know. I have not seen any other articles that said anything similar to this.

Subject: Re: [CML] Perspectives of imatinib usage in the treatment of some types of childhood cancer

Does this mean children are not responding to gleevec
as well as adults?  My daughter has been on gleevec
for 3 years and is doing well.  I know that gleevec is
not a cure, but we were holding out hope for another
drug down the line will be.  Are we crazy for not
putting her through transplant? I get so upset when i
read these things.
