Clinical trials in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) are usually carried out in specialized centers whereas primary care for patients (pts) with CML is mainly provided by local oncology practices. The aim of this study was to assess treatment practices in pts with CML in the setting of private oncology practices in Germany. We collected data of 819 pts with a confirmed diagnosis (dx) of CML in 2013 or later from 43 practices.

This study reports on a chart review conducted to evaluate the real life approach regarding clinical characteristics, diagnostic assessment, risk stratification and treatment decisions for MPN patients classified as ET or MF after implementation of the WHO 2016 classification.
Methods: In this retrospective chart review, 31 office-based hematologists/oncologists and primary care centers in Germany participated between April 2021 and May 2022.
Introduction: Treatment-free remission (TFR) is increasingly considered as treatment goal for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), but information on the disposition and outcome of TFR in clinical practice is scarce. Here, we report the characteristics of patients with CML in deep molecular remission (DMR) and/or after an attempt of TFR reported by 33 German hematologists.
Methods: Data were collected retrospectively by means of a questionnaire.
