Abstract

Key Clinical Message: The availability of kinase and other small‐molecule inhibitors to treat hematologic malignancies is increasing. Accordingly, novel regimens that employ these therapeutics are rapidly evolving. Herein we report the safe and effective administration of two targeted kinase inhibitors in a patient with concomitant chronic myelogenous leukemia and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
