In our patient population, there was male predominance and majority of patients lied between the age group of 40 and 50 years. 90% patients were initially started on 400 mg dose of imatinib. About 30% of patient population required dose excalation due to inadequate response while 10% required dose descalation due to myelosuppression. 60% of patients had complete response by 3 months and 52% of patients had major molecular response by 1 year. |
