Abstract

Key Clinical Message Non‐Hodgkin lymphoma can occur concurrently with chronic phase‐chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) at initial diagnosis. Combination treatment with second‐generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors and rituximab‐CHOP for patients newly diagnosed with CML and non‐Hodgkin lymphoma is effective for both diseases. However, we found that this treatment combination may induce severe myelosuppression.
