Breakthrough results in European multicenter trial on acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL): no more chemotherapy?
APL is a rare, yet aggressive, subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) characterized by a maturation arrest of white blood cell precursors in the marrow, leading to a shortage of normal white cells and platelets in the blood, which is…
