Abstract

The proliferative component of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, related to an increased sensitivity of myeloid progenitors to granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor, suggests dedicated therapeutic approaches. In this issue, ruxolitinib, a JAK1 and -2 inhibitory drug, is shown to induce objective responses in chronic myelomonocytic leukemia patients.
