Popis: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) allow many patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) to live normal life spans but have the potential to impact patients’ health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures can provide valuable information to inform treatment decision-making. Here, we review pivotal studies that used PRO measures to evaluate HRQOL of patients with CML in the first-line and treatment-free remission (TFR), and identify areas for future research. PRO measures commonly studied in patients with CML include the SF-36, FACT-Leu, EORTC QLQ-CML24, and MDASI CML. Cohort or cross-sectional studies provide the most data on PRO measures in patients with CML, with less information available from randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Patients with CML taking TKIs have worse HRQOL compared to matched controls, with a few studies seeing a larger effect in younger patients (
