The risk is a lack of response and that could lead to multiple complications including going into blast crisis. This could put the patient's life at risk. The standard dosage is 400 mg/day. How is the patient being monitored and what have the tests shown? Has a reason been given for not following the standard protocol for CML treatment? Pat in Phoenix
