Curtis Lachowiez, MD, Oregon Health & Science University, Portland, OR, speaks on a study analyzing the prognostic impact of blast enumeration and co-occurring myelodysplasia-related gene mutations in patients with NPM1-mutated myeloid neoplasms (MN). Despite updated guidelines defining acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in patients with greater than 10% blasts, the study found no significant difference in the molecular landscape or leukemia-free survival (LFS) between patients with greater than 10% blasts and less than 10% blasts. Patients without co-occurring myelodysplasia mutations demonstrated a significant survival advantage compared to those with such mutations. This interview took place at the 65th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition, held in San Diego, CA.
