In order to evaluate the risk of second malignances(SM) during treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors(TKIs), a retrospective study is designed among chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients. The result suggested that patients with CML treated with TKIs had the higher relative incidence of SM when compared with the expected incidence among the general Chinese population.
