	Acute myeloid leukemia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), also known as acute myeloid leukemia, is a cancer of the myeloid line of blood cells.
		Acute leukemias of ambiguous lineage (also known as mixed phenotype acute leukemia) occur when the leukemic cells can not be classified as either myeloid or lymphoid cells or where both types of cells are present.
		Because acute promyelocytic leukemia has the highest curability and has a unique form of treatment, it is important to establish or exclude the diagnosis of this subtype of leukemia.

	Acute Myelocytic Leukemia: Leukemias: Merck Manual Home Edition
		Acute myelocytic (myeloid, myelogenous, myeloblastic, myelomonocytic) leukemia is a life-threatening disease in which the cells that normally develop into neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, and monocytes become cancerous and rapidly replace normal cells in the bone marrow.
		Acute myelocytic leukemia (AML) is the most common type of leukemia among adults, although it affects people of all ages.
		Once AML is in remission, the person usually receives a few courses of additional chemotherapy (consolidation chemotherapy) a few weeks or months after the initial treatment to help ensure that as many leukemia cells as possible are destroyed.

	Adult acute myeloid leukemia
		Leukemias that express the progenitor cell antigen CD34 and/or the P-glycoprotein (MDR1 gene product) have an inferior outcome.[6-8] Expression of the bcl-2 oncoprotein, which inhibits programmed cell death, has been shown to predict poor survival.[9] Cytogenetic analysis provides some of the strongest prognostic information available and is helpful in patients with newly diagnosed AML.
		Patients with AML that is characterized by deletions of the long arms or monosomies of chromosomes 5 or 7; by translocations or inversions of chromosome 3, t(6;9), t(9;22); or by abnormalities of chromosome 11q23 have particularly poor prognoses with chemotherapy.
		Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is classified morphologically according to the French-American-British criteria by the degree of differentiation along different cell lines and the extent of cell maturation.[1-3]

		Background: Acute myelocytic leukemia (AML) is a group of malignant disorders characterized by the replacement of normal bone marrow with abnormal, primitive hematopoietic cells.
		Pathophysiology: Acute leukemia is believed to begin in a single somatic hematopoietic progenitor that transforms to a cell incapable of normal differentiation.

		These cytogenetic subgroups predict clinical outcome in elderly patients with AML as well as in younger patients.[10] The fusion genes formed in t(8;21) and inv(16) can be detected by reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), which will indicate the presence of these genetic alterations in some patients in whom standard cytogenetics was technically inadequate.

		However, even with allogeneic stem cell transplantation, the outcome for high-risk patients is poor (5-year disease-free survival of 8% to 30% for patients with treatment-related leukemia or myelodysplasia).[33] The efficacy of autologous stem cell transplantation in the poor-risk group has not been reported to date but is the subject of active clinical trials.

		Risk declined with the total number of specific allergies reported (p less than 0.001), and was reduced in relation to a history of prior asthma, eczema and hives.
