17012, Making AML therapy decisions at first remission: Is timing everything?
Increased knowledge regarding the prognostic impact of genetic mutations on survival is changing therapeutic decision-making for patients with AML in first complete remission (CR1). Research on disease status and the timing of therapy has shown a significant impact on patient outcomes. Presenters use an interactive, case study-based format to identify patient- and disease-specific factors used to assess the risks and benefits of post-induction therapy, including hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) versus non-transplant therapies.

Target Audience
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, I will be able to:
- Describe cytogenetic and molecular marker-based risk stratification for prognostic and therapeutic decisions for AML in CR1
- Identify the risks and benefits of available therapeutic options and how timing of HCT affects patient outcomes
- Cite recent clinical trial results and the impact of patient- and disease-specific factors on outcomes
- Use patient education resources to support the needs of patients and caregivers in understanding treatment choices
