Minimal residual disease quantitation in acute myeloid leukemia.
The prognosis for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is heterogeneous. A minority of patients have clinical and biologic features associated with a very high risk of relapse. For the remaining patients, no clear prognostic factors can be identified at diagnosis. The degree of treatment response is likely to be an informative predictor of outcome for these patients. Modern assays to dete...
متن کاملDetection of minimal residual disease in acute myeloid leukemia.
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a curable malignancy, but its cure rate remains disappointingly low. Accurate quantitation of residual AML cells would allow individualization of therapy and thereby increase the likelihood of cure for each patient. Techniques that are being studied for residual disease detection include molecular assays for abnormalities that are present in subsets of AML patien...
متن کاملCorrelation of minimal residual disease cell frequency with molecular genotype in patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
BACKGROUND About 70-80 percent of patients with acute myeloid leukemia enter complete remission, but at least half of these patients who achieve remission go on to relapse. Improved treatment is likely to come from increasing the time to relapse, especially for younger patients. With the vastly increasing number of targeted therapies there is a strong need for short-term end-points to efficient...
متن کاملMolecular monitoring of minimal residual disease in two patients with MLL-rearranged acute myeloid leukemia and haploidentical transplantation after relapse
This report describes the clinical courses of two acute myeloid leukemia patients. Both had MLL translocations, the first a t(10;11)(p11.2;q23) with MLL-AF10 and the second a t(11;19)(q23;p13.1) with MLL-ELL fusion. They achieved a clinical remission under conventional chemotherapy but relapsed shortly after end of therapy. Both had a history of invasive mycoses (one had possible pulmonary myco...
متن کاملevaluation of minimal residual disease in acute myeloid leukemia with npm1 marker
background: minimal residual disease (mrd) tests provide early identification of hematologic relapse and timely management of acute myeloid leukemia (aml) patients. approximately, 50% of aml patients do not have clonal chromosomal aberrations and categorize as a cytogenetically normal acute myeloid leukemia (cn-aml). about 60% of adult cn-aml has a mutation in exon 12 of npm1 gene. this mutatio...
