PG - 1012-1023 LID - 10.11406/rinketsu.62.1012 [doi] AB - The chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) therapeutic landscape has dramatically changed with the development of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), which allows for a near-normal life expectancy. Five TKIs have been currently approved for CML treatment in Japan, of which four have been indicated as first-line therapy (i.e., imatinib, nilotinib, dasatinib, and bosutinib). Nowadays, the long-term prognosis of patients with CML is determined not by the primary disease but rather by the comorbidities and treatment-related adverse events (AEs), including cardiovascular events. Assessment of risk profile and comorbidities at diagnosis is essential for the appropriate choice of TKI and long-term survival management. The ability of some patients who achieve deep molecular responses to discontinue therapy successfully is well documented. Long-term treatment-free remission with continued response to TKI therapy is now recognized as the most optimal treatment benefit for some patients.This article discusses treatment strategies, AE management, and future perspectives based on the latest CML treatment guidelines.
