TLDR
TKI de-escalation is safe for most patients with excellent responses to TKI therapy, and is associated with improvement in symptoms, and are shown to maintain responses in patients with stable major molecular response.

Discontinuation of tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy in chronic myeloid leukaemia (EURO-SKI): a prespecified interim analysis of a prospective, multicentre, non-randomised, trial

TL;DR: In this paper, a prospective, non-randomised trial was conducted at 61 European centres in 11 countries to investigate the impact of stopping TKI therapy on the survival of patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia.

Treatment-free remission with first- and second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors

TL;DR: Clinical data obtained to date indicate that for many patients who achieve deep molecular response (DMR) on TKI therapy, TFR is a safe treatment goal, and, if the response is lost, patients can expect to regain their responses immediately upon reinitiation of TKI.

The proportion of different BCR-ABL1 transcript types in chronic myeloid leukemia. An international overview

TL;DR: In a series of 45503 newly diagnosed CML patients reported from 45 countries, it was found that the proportion of e13a2 and e14a2 was 37.9% and 62.1%, respectively, which shows that the differences in proportion are not by chance.

Life Expectancy of Patients With Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Approaches the Life Expectancy of the General Population

TL;DR: Imatinib mesylate and new TKIs along with allogeneic stem cell transplantation and other factors have contributed to the life expectancy in patients with CML approaching that of the general population today.
