Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

Cure possible for Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) ?
                       

"There are a number of approaches for selective targeting of leukemic stem cells
(LSCs). These include targeting stem-cell properties, such as self-renewal,
inducing cycling of quiescent LSCs to sensitize them to conventional agents,
employing or inducing immune-based mechanisms, and targeting tumor-specific
physiology. Agents such as parthenolide inhibit the ability of leukemic stem
cells to respond to oxidative stress and make leukemic stem cells and bulk
leukemic cells susceptible to cell death, while normal stem cells remain
relatively unharmed by these agents. The major mechanism of action of these
small molecules appears to revolve around the aberrant glutathione metabolism
pathway found in leukemic cells."

Surviving  CML pre-imatinib era

               In 1981, Dr. Robert Patenaude from Quebec  (Canada) was diagnosed with CML. He has gone through a bone marrow transplant in 1982, when he was a second-year medical student. He wrote a book Surviving Leukemia: A Practical Guide (Your Personal Health) . After 30 years, he didn’t  relapse. See this article, 30 years of victory against cancer.  If you understand French, you can see some videos featuring Dr Robert Patenaude
