Overview

Systematic review reveals secondary malignancy incidence in chronic myeloid leukemia patients treated with TKIs, suggesting a need for monitoring.

Key Points

  • To assess the incidence and types of secondary malignancies in chronic myeloid leukemia patients treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors.
  • Conducted a systematic review following PRISMA guidelines.
  • Performed literature search across PubMed, Embase, Medline, and Web of Science.
  • Included studies reporting on secondary malignancies in adults with chronic-phase CML treated with TKIs; excluded those with advanced CML or concomitant chemotherapy.
  • Identified 14 studies including 42,781 chronic-phase CML patients treated with TKIs.
  • Reported secondary malignancy incidence ranged from 3.1% to 7.5% in various cohorts.
  • Common secondary malignancies included prostate, colorectal, and lung cancers, along with hematologic malignancies like non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
