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.
