Hi Ana It depends if this is on the International Scale or not? This site explains it well, http://www.cmlsupport.org.uk/faq_pcrresults Extract below.
Cheers Jon *What is a log drop?* An RQ-PCR test measures the number of Ph+ CML cells in your blood. The way it counts the decrease of cells is in terms of a log drop or log reduction.4 Each log reduction means you have 10 times fewer *BCR-ABL* genes than you had at diagnosis.7 For example, a 1 log reduction is the same as dividing the number of Ph+ cells you have at diagnosis by 10. Ultimately, what is most important is that the trend of your log reductions continues to decrease over time until you reach a major molecular response, which is equivalent to a 3-log reduction (or 0.1% *BCR-ABL* to control gene ratio on the international scale).4 Results from 2 landmark studies show that patients who have a major molecular response have a much better chance of remaining free from disease progression, or relapse.8,9This means their Ph+ CML cells didn’t increase for a long period of time.
