Treatment-free remission (TFR) for chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) leaflet

Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is a type of blood cancer that involves the white blood cells in the bone marrow. It can develop slowly over many years. The most common treatment is a type of targeted therapy called a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). Some people who have a deep, long-term response to TKIs may be able to reduce the dose or stop treatment completely. This is called treatment-free remission (TFR).

You can order printed copies of this booklet free to UK addresses.
