Real‑world evidence of imatinib treatment in younger and older patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia: A retrospective single centre analysis

Recent Publication


 

A study at Krems University Hospital has investigated whether age has an influence on the success of treatment in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who have been treated with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib. The analysis of data from 22 patients over a period of ten years showed that younger and older patients benefit equally from the treatment. There were no relevant differences in remission, disease progression or tolerability.
