Promoting High Adherence in CML Patients: Proven Strategies for Health Care Providers
May 8th 2025Panelists discuss how health care providers can promote medication adherence by moving beyond labeling patients as noncompliant, instead investigating root causes such as adverse effects, financial toxicity, or forgetfulness, while emphasizing the importance of building trusting relationships, involving caregivers as accountability partners, and creating personalized solutions that address each patient's specific barriers to maintaining their treatment regimen.
The Impact of Medication Adherence on CML Outcomes
May 8th 2025Panelists discuss how medication adherence significantly impacts chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) treatment outcomes, with research showing even small differences between 90% and 95% adherence to tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy can substantially affect molecular response rates, particularly during the critical first year of treatment, which largely determines future outcomes including potential treatment-free remission.
Enhancing Adherence Through Patient Education: How Providers Can Support CML Patients on TKIs
May 1st 2025Panelists discuss how patient education plays a crucial role in ensuring adherence to tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy by building trust through clear explanations of medications and expected adverse effects, tailoring information to individual patients, involving caregivers when appropriate, and emphasizing that education must continue throughout the patient's lifelong treatment journey as part of a collaborative team approach.
Empowering CML Patients: Why Open Communication About Symptoms Matters
May 1st 2025Panelists discuss how establishing trust and open communication with patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is crucial for treatment adherence, emphasizing the importance of asking specific questions about adverse effects rather than general inquiries, acknowledging that patients may feel reluctant to mention problems due to feeling "blessed" to have life-saving medication, and ultimately ensuring these conversations happen to prevent routine visits from missing quality-of-life issues.
