Living with CML: Is death no longer the end (point)?

Abstract

In this issue of Blood, Saußele et al demonstrate, in a study based on 1519 chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients, that death may be a flawed end point for the assessment of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) efficacy because, in the current era, CML patients more often die with their disease than because of it.
