Understanding disease management and the patient journey in chronic myeloid leukemia: results from the CML SUN survey in South Korean patients and physicians.

Background

Quality of life (QoL) is of paramount importance in the management of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), as most patients receive lifelong treatment. Despite this, information on patient experiences and involvement in treatment decision making is lacking.
