Conclusions

• Available literature suggests mild increased risk of SPM in patients with CML

• Increased prevalence of SPM in TKI era appears to be due to increased longevity of CML patients

• No clear data to implicate TKI as risk factor for SPM

• CML patients continue to follow good life style measures (avoid smoking, regular exercise etc..)
