The Sokal, Hasford, and EUTOS scores were established in different treatment eras of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). None of them was reported to predict molecular response. In this single center study we tried to reevaluate the usefulness of three main scores in TKI era. The study group included 88 CML patients in first chronic phase treated initially with standard imatinib dose. All of them achieved major molecular response (MMR) in time points defined by European LeukemiaNet (ELN). 42 patients lost MMR in a median time of 47 months and we found a significant difference in MMR maintenance between intermediate-risk (IR) and low-risk (LR) patients assessed by Hasford score. All 42 patients were switched to second-generation TKI (2G-TKI) treatment. At 18 months of 2G-TKI therapy we have still found a significant difference in BCR-ABL transcript levels and MMR rate between IR and LR groups. We did not find any of the described differences discriminating patients by Sokal or EUTOS score. In this retrospective single center analysis we found Hasford score to be useful in predicting molecular response in first chronic phase of CML patients.

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a rare disease in children and adolescents. The goal of therapy in children and adolescents is normal life expectancy, without compromising normal growth and development and potential for achievement of milestones in adult life. The perspective of cure is also reflected in the goal of treatment-free remission, with its surrogate markers, such as deep molecular response, also becoming the new endpoints of therapy efficacy in children and adolescents. Chronic myeloid leukemia was a fatal disease to children and adolescents in the past. Following the treatment paradigm of imatinib, it became a chronic disease with the potential of complete remission and even cure without the long-term hazards of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. The diagnosis and treatment of CML affect a child’s trajectory through life and important physiological events like development and procreation.
