Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Guidelines recommend treatment patterns based on risk of progression into Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). Adherence to these guidelines improves survival rates in patients with MDS. An MDS work-up should include an extensive

Background : Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is the most common acute leukemia in adults accounting for about 80% of adult leukemia cases. In contrast, it accounts for less than 10% of children less than ten years of age. In the last two decades

Background: Hereditary myeloid malignancy syndromes (HMMS) are increasingly recognized in adult patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Timely diagnosis of HMMS is critical to ensure appropriate bone marrow

Background Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a unique subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that is characterized by chromosomal translocation t(15;17) with fusion of PML-RARA genes and cell-cycle arrest at the promyelocyte stage. 1 APL
