NOTE. Table shows the cutoff in transcript levels that distinguishes low-risk and high-risk groups with maximal sensitivity and specificity for each outcome, the 8-year probability of outcome in each of the two groups created by applying the cutoffs identified for each outcome, and the 8-year probabilities for the various outcomes according to the risk group defined by OS.

Abbreviations: CCyR, complete cytogenetic response; CMR, complete molecular response; EFS, event-free survival; MMR, major molecular response; OS, overall survival; PFS, progression-free survival; RR, relative risk.
