Acute myeloid leukemia, version 3.2017: Clinical practice guidelines in oncology

TLDR
This portion of the NCCN Guidelines for AML focuses on management and provides recommendations on the workup, diagnostic evaluation, and treatment options for younger and older adult patients.
Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common form of acute leukemia among adults and accounts for the largest number of annual deaths due to leukemias in the United States. Recent advances have resulted in an expansion of treatment options for AML, especially concerning targeted therapies and low-intensity regimens. This portion of the NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines) for AML focuses on the management of AML and provides recommendations on the workup, diagnostic evaluation and treatment options for younger (age <60 years) and older (age ≥60 years) adult patients.

Targeting FLT3 mutations in AML: review of current knowledge and evidence.

TL;DR: This review focuses on the pathological and prognostic role of FLT3 mutations in AML, clinical classification of the disease, recent progress with next-generationFLT3 inhibitors, and mechanisms of resistance to FLT 3 inhibitors.

Epidemiology of acute myeloid leukemia: Recent progress and enduring challenges.

TL;DR: Curative therapies, including intensive chemotherapy and allogeneic stem cell transplantation, are generally applicable to a minority of patients who are younger and fit, while most older individuals exhibit poor prognosis and survival.

Acute myeloid leukemia: 2019 update on risk-stratification and management.

TL;DR: Knowledge of the pre‐treatment mutation status of various genes has improved the ability to assign initial treatment and, of particular importance, knowledge of whether patients ostensibly in remission have measurable residual disease should influence subsequent management.

Genomic and epigenomic landscapes of adult de novo acute myeloid leukemia

Timothy J. Ley, +138 more
TL;DR: It is found that a complex interplay of genetic events contributes to AML pathogenesis in individual patients and the databases from this study are widely available to serve as a foundation for further investigations of AMl pathogenesis, classification, and risk stratification.

Refinement of cytogenetic classification in acute myeloid leukemia: determination of prognostic significance of rare recurring chromosomal abnormalities among 5876 younger adult patients treated in the United Kingdom Medical Research Council trials

TL;DR: Analysis of outcomes of 5876 patients treated in Medical Research Council trials allows more reliable prediction of outcome for patients with rarer abnormalities and may facilitate the development of consensus in reporting of karyotypic information in clinical trials involving younger adults with AML.
