Only 54 patients were studied at 2 or more time points.
Relapse data for 3 months and 6 to 12 months posttransplantation are based on Kaplan-Meier estimates.
PCR+ indicates increasing or persistently highBCR-ABL transcript levels (>50 transcripts/μg RNA); PCR− indicates undetectable, decreasing, or lowBCR-ABL transcript levels (<50 transcripts/μg RNA).
