Dasatinib and nilotinib were more effective than imatinib as first-line therapy for CML in a community setting, as observed in descriptive and univariate analyses. The frequency of cytogenetic and molecular monitoring was lower than that recommended by current guidelines, including patients with no molecular or cytogenetic assessments during the 18-month follow-up. Therefore, MSH/USON is working toward improving compliance with response monitoring guidelines.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
