Dasatinib-Related Chylothorax

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Dasatinib is a potent second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia. The most common adverse event associated with dasatinib therapy is fluid retention, including pleural effusion. Dasatinib-related chylothorax has rarely been reported. The clinical manifestations, pathophysiology, management, and prognosis are not fully understood. Here we report a 40-year-old woman presenting with chylothorax following dasatinib use. We propose the hypothesis of its mechanism as well as offering a review of the relevant literature.
