There is no way to compare CML to ALL or APL. There are not that many long term survivors of BMT's for CML. If I recall correctly the statistics of Interferon vs BMT for CML showed that even Interferon had a higher success rate than BMT's and the same is the case with Gleevec and newer drugs.

Just a little thought though, did you know that close to 85% of ALL
(most typical form of childhood Leukemia) are now being cured.  We also
know that close to 80% of all APL are cured with a vitamin derivative
and nearly all cases of hairy cell leukemia are cured with Interferon
treatment.  Of course all of this happened before a drug comapny
figured out how to make the CML "market" worth 2.1 billion dollars
