TLDR
The number of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients in Germany is expected to increase further until at least 2040–2050 with a maximum of more than 20,000 CML patients as the most probable scenario.
Abstract
Purpose Due to prolonged survival, there will be many more chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients alive in the future. The aims of this work were to estimate the current prevalence of CML by using routine data and to project future patient numbers in Germany.

Higher out-of-pocket expenses for tyrosine kinase-inhibitor therapy is associated with worse health-related quality-of-life in persons with chronic myeloid leukemia

TL;DR: Higher out-of-pocket expense for TKI therapy is significantly associated with worse HRQoL in persons with chronic-phase CML in CCyR receiving TKI Therapy, indicating the importance of drug cost and health insurance policies on people’s HRQeL.

Dasatinib dose management for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia.

TL;DR: Results obtained from dose optimization and discontinuation trials currently in progress will help practitioners determine the best dose and duration of dasatinib for patients with CML, because treatment decisions will be made through continued discussions between physicians and patients.

Variables associated with patient-reported outcomes in persons with chronic myeloid leukemia receiving tyrosine kinase-inhibitor therapy

TL;DR: Social-economic and clinical variables were significantly associated with PROs in persons with CML receiving TKI-therapy and better well-being, and adverse impact on daily life and work was significant associated with more interests in TKIs and less impact on subject’s dailylife and work.

Adverse effects of dasatinib on glucose-lipid metabolism in patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia in the chronic phase.

TL;DR: It is concluded that dasatinib, similar to nilotinib, has the adverse impact on glucose-lipid metabolism compared with imatinib.

Epidemiology and Etiology of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

TL;DR: The authors ask for further research on the occurrence of secondary malignancies, other therapy-related risks, treatment of elderly patients, economic impact on healthcare systems by the expensive long-term treatment, and chances to stop treatment with TKIs in patients with complete remission without risking relapse of CML.

Real-world cost-effectiveness in chronic myeloid leukemia: the price of success during four decades of development from non-targeted treatment to imatinib

TL;DR: The authors' data from four decades reveal dramatically improved survival in CML, paralleled by ICER levels generally accepted by health authorities, as well as a lifetime cost-effectiveness model developed.

Chronic myelogenous leukaemia market.

TL;DR: Imatinib (Gleevec; Novartis), the first approved tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), alters the natural course of CML, creating new niches in the CML market.

The role of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in chronic myeloid leukemia

TL;DR: A more balanced appraisal of HSCT for individual patients should include disease risk, transplant risk, and macroeconomic aspects and should be integrated into the treatment algorithms from diagnosis and be considered very early at first TKI failure for patients with high disease but low transplant risk.
