How to manage CML patients with comorbidities.
1Georgia Cancer Center, Augusta, GA.
Patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) often have comorbidities, impacting long-term survival and TKI treatment safety. Managing these conditions holistically can lead to near-normal life expectancy for CML patients.
Area of Science:
- Hematology
- Oncology
- Internal Medicine
Background:
- Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients frequently present with comorbidities, potentially more so than the general population.
- Comorbidities represent a significant challenge to long-term survival in CML, especially with effective tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapies.
- The presence of comorbidities can influence the risk and severity of adverse events associated with TKIs.
