Stopping tyrosine kinase inhibitors in a very large cohort of European chronic myeloid leukemia patients: results of the EURO-SKI trial
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) have substantially improved survival in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase. However, treatment is in clinical practice considered life-long.

Although most acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients initially respond to chemotherapy, the majority subsequently relapses and succumbs to refractory disease. Residual leukemic cells that survived chemotherapy may persist over time and later cause the disease to come back.
