[Recognizing and managing side effects of tyrosine kinase inhibitors in chronic myeloid leukemia].

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) have emerged as a paradigm-shifting therapeutic approach for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) following their regulatory approval in 2001. These agents have revolutionized the management of CML by significantly improving patient outcomes and enabling them to achieve near-normal life expectancies. Consequently, the utilization of TKI has become increasingly prevalent, accompanied by the recognition and management of their associated adverse effects. Given the expanding patient population receiving TKI therapy, it is imperative that hematologists, as well as general practitioners, assume the responsibility of closely and meticulously monitoring patients' treatment progress while effectively addressing the occurrence of any untoward effects.
