Notes

Standard 1L for low-risk Sokal/EUTOS CML, elderly, or in cost-constrained settings (generics widely available, НСЗУ-reimbursed in Ukraine). 2nd-gen TKIs (dasatinib, nilotinib, bosutinib) achieve faster deep molecular response but no consistent OS benefit — ELN 2020 leaves choice to comorbidity matrix. Take with food + water.
