Abstract

Purpose of Review: In this review, we analyze some of the topical issues in the clinical management of chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML). Recent Findings: In recent years, the management of CML patients has increased in complexity as molecular monitoring has brought to the clinical scene new therapeutic targets and the second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors have been licensed for first-line use. Summary: In this article, we will try to answer some of the questions that a practising physician may face in clinical practice, such as: What should be the aim of therapy? What is the best front-line therapy? Which patients should receive an allogeneic stem cell transplant?
