Overview

Systematic review reports incidence of secondary malignancies in chronic myeloid leukemia treated with TKIs, suggesting a need for better monitoring.

Key Points

  • Secondary malignancies emerged in 3.1% to 7.5% of chronic myeloid leukemia patients treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors.
  • Highest incidences of gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and respiratory cancers were reported, stressing the importance of risk monitoring.
  • Systematic review analyzed 14 studies involving 42,781 chronic-phase CML patients, emphasizing the need for long-term safety evaluations.
  • Increased mortality and poor prognosis are linked to secondary malignancies, highlighting the need for further large-scale studies.
