Read moreThe root of evil: pre-leukemic clones that survive chemotherapy are linked to a higher risk of leukemia recurrence
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive form of blood cancer. Treatment with intensive chemotherapy often leads to a period of freedom from overt disease called a remission. However, recurrence of the disease is common.
Read moreNovel basis for chemoresistance in AML: DNMT3A R882 mutations promote chemoresistance and residual disease through impaired DNA damage sensing
Although most acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients initially respond to chemotherapy, the majority subsequently relapses and succumbs to refractory disease. Residual leukemic cells that survived chemotherapy may persist over time and later cause the disease to come back.
Read moreFirst randomized evidence for kinase inhibitor activity in acute myeloid leukemia
Despite the success of tyrosine kinase inhibitors in some forms of leukemias such as chronic myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia, until now a kinase inhibitor had yet to demonstrate activity in acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
Read moreAdvances from genome sequencing are paving the way to personalized treatment for leukemia and pre-leukemia
In acute myeloid leukemia (AML) our understanding of how modifications to DNA molecules that do not result in sequence change (i. e.
