Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has always posed a therapeutic challenge due to its molecular and cytogenetic complexity. For the first time in decades, advances in treatment through the approval of novel agents and combinations, have been made. Long-term disease-free survival had plateaued at less than 30% at 5 years; however, in the last few years, a small, but steady increase has been seen thanks to the advancements in novel therapies. The exploration of novel mechanisms and immune system enhancement as therapeutic targets for the treatment of AML continues.
This Special Issue will highlight the clinical trials and advances in supportive care for acute myeloid leukemia.
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Cancers.
