Abstract

The use of second generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) extends the disease treatment options and allows increasing the frequency of deep stable molecular responses obtaintment in comparison with the therapy by the first generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors. On the other hand, blocking tyrosine kinases can lead to the development of adverse events which decrease the patients’ quality of life. This study presents an experience of treatment of recurrent pleural effusions in the group of  patients in chronic phase CML with long disease history who received dasatinib after prolonged pretreatment and with the development of resistance to imatinib. Also the analyze of the effectiveness of therapeutic methods used in the treatment of pleural effusion has been presented.

Key words
