Mechanisms of lower gastrointestinal toxicity caused by tyrosine kinase inhibitors
2020-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Lower gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity – manifested as diarrhoea – often occurs in cancer patients undergoing treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). TKIs used for chronic myeloid leukaemia have a differential propensity to cause lower GI toxicity, with bosutinib having the highest incidence.
