Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) testing for BCR-ABL has become the primary method used to monitor leukemia levels in CML patients. As a CML patient for almost 5 years, and someone who is in regular contact with other CML patients from around the world, I continually see the confusion that surrounds this very important issue.

An issue causing a lot of confusion among oncologists and their patients is Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) testing, and specifically, how the results are reported and interpreted.
