Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Chronic myelogenous leukemia is effectively treated with Imatinib mesylate. This drug inhibits most of the transforming capability stemming from the tyrosine kinase (P210) activity of the bcr/abl fusion gene. This P210 fusion protein is not found in the other myeloproliferative disorders, so the drug is ineffective in these disorders.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Chronic myelogenous leukemia often progresses to acute leukemia, which may be either myeloid or lymphoblastic.
