Since its introduction 5 years ago, imatinib mesylate has shown remarkable efficacy in treating patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia. Here we shall review the clinical results seen with imatinib at all stages of the disease, current views on the best way to monitor patients' responses and potential ways of predicting response to treatment. We shall also briefly cover the reasons why quiescent stein cells pose a theoretical threat to successful treatment. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
