Using Patient Variables in CML to Guide Treatment

News
Video

This video highlights patient variables, including kidney function or history of diabetes, that can help guide treatment in chronic myeloid leukemia.

In this video, Ruediger Hehlmann, MD, of the University of Heidelberg in Germany, discusses patient variables-including kidney function or history of diabetes-that can help guide treatment in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), and reviews the need for molecular monitoring for disease relapse.

Hehlmann spoke on this topic during an education session at the 2017 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in Chicago.
