Colitis and chronic bleeding in patients treated with dasatinib
Journal Title: Journal of Cancer Research & Therapy - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Dasatinib is a key therapeutic option in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia. Previous case reports associated it with acute colitis. This is another report that demonstrates a link between dasatinib and chronic colitis akin to inflammatory bowel disease, in patients undergoing therapy with dasatinib for a prolonged time.
