Firas El Chaer, MD, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA, discusses challenges in prolonging remission in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). He highlights two main areas where efforts can be focused: eradicating measurable residual disease (MRD) prior to stem cell transplantation (SCT) or incorporating post-stem-cell maintenance. New targeted therapies could be used in both of these areas as they tend to have fewer side effects than traditional treatments such as chemotherapy. This interview took place at the 29th Congress of the European Hematology Association (EHA) in Madrid, Spain.
