Guidelines for laboratory monitoring of disease activity

CBC with differentialEvery mo
Bone marrow with cytogenetics/FISH Every 3 mo until CCyR 
Peripheral blood quantitative PCR for BCR-ABL Every 3 mo until MMR, then every 6 mo 
TKI mutation analysis Any measure of suboptimal response: failure to reach or maintain CHR, CCyR, or MMR; rise in quantitative PCR after MMR; or increase in Ph+ chromosomes if CCyR not obtained
