Rationale for combination therapy of chronic myelogenous leukaemia with imatinib and irradiation or alkylating agents: implications for pretransplant conditioning

The tyrosine kinase activity of the BCR–ABL oncoprotein results in reduced apoptosis and thus prolongs survival of chronic myelogenous leukaemia cells.
