The general agreement for patients whose AP is the form of presentation of CML is to go on with the TKI indefinitely if they achieve a good response, as it is the case with this patient. Given the patient’s high risk because of his CML phase, TKI discontinuation is not recommended, and treatment should be given indefinitely. One possibility would be to reduce dasatinib dose to 100 mg daily, taking into account the sustained good molecular response.
