QIM19-137: Effect of Socioeconomic Factors on Survival in Veterans With Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Falgun Mahendrakumar Modhia, Sarah E. Johnston, Daniel Zhao, Ankur Mody, and Mohammad O. Khalil

Background: There is limited information about socioeconomic factors effect on survival in veterans with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Few studies published between the 1960s and 1980s suggested higher risks for leukemia mortality among veterans

Care Patterns and Barriers to Outpatient Care for Adults With AML Following Intensive Chemotherapy at NCCN Member Institutions

Anna B. Halpern, Jessica M. Sugalski, Lindsey Bandini, Megan Othus, F. Marc Stewart, and Roland B. Walter

Background Adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) typically remain hospitalized following intensive induction therapy while cytopenic due to infection risks, toxicity monitoring, and transfusion needs. However, this care strategy has important

CGE19-065: Number of Somatic Mutations Is an Independent Predictor of Overall Survival in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Zin W. Myint, Rani Jayswal, Ranjana Arora, Gregory P. Monohan, Amit Goldberg, Roger Fleischman, Roger Herzig, Hayder Saeed, Gerhard C. Hildebrandt, and Reshma Ramlal

Purpose: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is characterized by multiple somatically acquired mutations that affect genes of different functional categories. It has been well established in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) that the cumulative number of

Acute Myeloid Leukemia Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology

The incidence of leukemia, along with its precursor, myelodysplasia, appears to be rising, particularly in the population over age 60. Recently an expanded panel of clinicians from the NCCN member institutions joined to update guidelines for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia. Although there are some areas in which clinical trials have led to significant improvements in treatment, for the most part, recent trials have only served to highlight the continued need for innovative strategies to overcome this disease. These guidelines focus on outlining reasonable treatment options based on the information available.

Acute Myeloid Leukemia Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology

Roswell Park Cancer Institute

Approximately 11,960 people will be diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in 2005, and 9,000 patients will die of the disease. As the population ages, the incidence of AML, along with myelodysplasia, appears to be rising. Equally disturbing is the increasing incidence of treatment-related myelodysplasia and leukemia in survivors of tumors of childhood and young adulthood such as Hodgkin's disease, sarcomas, breast and testicular cancers, and lymphomas. Recent large clinical trials have highlighted the need for new, innovative strategies because outcomes for AML patients, particularly older patients, have not substantially changed in the past 3 decades.
