Key result
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors used for chronic myeloid leukemia are associated with serious cardiopulmonary toxicities, including vascular events, QT prolongation, heart failure, and pleural effusion.
Why the study?
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors for chronic myeloid leukemia are associated with serious cardiopulmonary toxicities, but dedicated clinical management guidelines are lacking.
This review highlights the significant cardiopulmonary toxicities associated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors in CML and provides a practical guide for their recognition, management, and monitoring.
Supports TKI cardiopulmonary monitoring in CML; extends awareness but leaves optimal prevention open.
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have revolutionized the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) but their use was associated with a range of serious cardiopulmonary toxicities including vascular adverse events, QT prolongation, heart failure, pleural effusion, and pulmonary arterial hypertension. Dedicated clinical management guidelines for TKI-induced toxicities are not available. This review aims to discuss TKI-associated cardiopulmonary toxicities and proposes a practical guide for their management.

Kaddoura et al. (2023) conducted a review in Chronic myeloid leukemia. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors was evaluated. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors used for chronic myeloid leukemia are associated with serious cardiopulmonary toxicities, including vascular events, QT prolongation, heart failure, and pleural effusion.
