In this Spotlight On Prolonging Remission In Patients With AML, learn more about:

✓ The implications of front-line therapy in AML

✓ The role and utilization of transplantation in AML

✓ Updates in treatments to prolong remission

Outcomes for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have improved due to advances in therapeutic approaches in combination with improvements in supportive care. However, relapse remains a significant clinical challenge and research has focused on maintenance strategies to extend remission and overall survival in patients with AML.1
