Default Article on media hype, from both a patient and a scientific perspective
I came across this recent article while I was chasing up some citations (related to another thread). As you can imagine, nilotinib gets a mention.

“Media Hype: Patient and Scientific Perspectives on Misleading Medical News” | Israel Robledo

There are also a couple of related articles from Scientific American and MJFF.
