Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most diagnosed blood cancer in adults. It is characterized by uncontrolled growth of abnormal white blood cells, which accumulate in the bone marrow and interfere with the production of normal blood cells.

Patients with acute myeloid leukemia present symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, easy bruising, and frequent infections. Treatment for acute myeloid leukemia typically involves chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and sometimes allogeneic stem cell transplantation depending on the patient’s age, disease characteristics, comorbidities, and overall health. Despite recent advancements in treatment, acute myeloid leukemia can be aggressive and remains difficult to treat.
