Dramatically improved survival associated with tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy has transformed the disease model for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) to one of long-term management, but treatment success is challenged with poor medication adherence. Many risk factors associated with poor adherence can be ameliorated by close monitoring, dose modification, and supportive care. Controlling risk factors for poor adherence in combination with patient education that includes direct communication between the health care team and the patient are essential components for maximizing the benefits of TKI therapy.
酪氨酸激酶抑制剂 (TKI) 治疗显著改善了慢性髓性白血病 (CML) 的生存预后,使该疾病的治疗模式转变为长期管理模式,但治疗的成功受到药物依从性差的挑战。许多与药物依从性差相关的风险因素可以通过密切监测、剂量调整和支持性护理来改善。控制药物依从性差的风险因素,并结合包括医疗团队与患者之间直接沟通的患者教育,是最大限度发挥 TKI 治疗益处的重要组成部分。
