I want to ask what is the reason that T315I type CML leukemia is currently untreatable. I have read quite a few papers in this subject. Why the current genetic oriented engineering drugs failed to stop the leukemia stem cell's expansion but can only slow the secondary leukemia stem cell's expansion? I found it to be utterly hopeless for a patient to be in such a position, as chemical therapy does not work well and radiation therapy can only target specific area. There are experimental drugs in the developmental stage but from what I know they are mostly unreliable.
