Results of several 15-day strategic treatment interruption (abbreviated as STI above) plans. For each simulation, we report the first day of the 15-day treatment interruption, the maximum leukemia concentration that occurs after the interruption, the time required for the patient to achieve cytogenetic remission, and the time required for total cancer elimination (i.e., concentration < 10−10k/μL)
