Navigating the Management of Chronic Phase CML in the Era of Generic BCR::ABL1 Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors
J Natl Compr Canc Netw. 2024 Feb;22(1):e237116. doi: 10.6004/jnccn.2023.7116.ABSTRACTOver the past several years, advances in research, treatment, and market dynamics have impacted treatment strategies in chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (CML-CP). They include the broader availability of cost-effective generic imatinib, and soon other generic second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Access to affordable generics means that all patients with CML-CP should have access to safe and highly effective lifelong therapies. When overall survival is the treatment endpoint, imatinib provides a good treatment value...

Chronic Myeloid Leukemia, Version 2.2024, NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology
J Natl Compr Canc Netw. 2024 Feb;22(1):43-69. doi: 10.6004/jnccn.2024.0007.ABSTRACTChronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is defined by the presence of Philadelphia chromosome resulting from a reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22 [t9;22] that gives rise to a BCR::ABL1 fusion gene. CML occurs in 3 different phases (chronic, accelerated, and blast phase) and is usually diagnosed in the chronic phase in developed countries. Tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy is a highly effective treatment option for patients with chronic phase-CML. The primary goal of TKI therapy in patients with chronic phase-CML is to prevent...

Genetically predicted telomere length and the risk of 11 hematological diseases: a Mendelian randomization study
CONCLUSIONS: The MR analysis revealed a positive association between genetically predicted longer TL and an increased risk of developing ALL, AML, CLL, MANTLE, and HODGKIN. This study further supports the notion that cells with longer TL have greater proliferative and mutational potential, leading to an increased risk of certain HDs.PMID:38393686 | DOI:10.18632/aging.205583 (Source: Aging)

Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Discontinuation in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia: Strategies to Optimize Success and New Directions
AbstractPurpose of ReviewThe discovery that patients suffering from chronic myeloid leukemia who obtain deep and long-lasting molecular responses upon treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors may maintain their disease silent for many years after therapy discontinuation launched the era of treatment-free remission as a key management goal in clinical practice. The purpose of this review on treatment-free remission is to discuss clinical advances, highlight knowledge gaps, and describe areas of research.Recent FindingsPatients in treatment-free remission are a minority, and it is believed that some may still retain a reser...

Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 848: Artificial Intelligence-Based Management of Adult Chronic Myeloid Leukemia: Where Are We and Where Are We Going?
Gatta Artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a discipline capable of providing significant added value in Medicine, in particular in radiomic, imaging analysis, big dataset analysis, and also for generating virtual cohort of patients. However, in coping with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), considered an easily managed malignancy after the introduction of TKIs which strongly improved the life expectancy of patients, AI is still in its infancy. Noteworthy, the findings of initial trials are intriguing and encouraging, both in terms of performance and adaptability to different contexts in which AI can be applied. Ind...
