Which AML has worst prognosis?
Which AML has worst prognosis?
Secondary AML has a worse prognosis, as does treatment-related AML arising after chemotherapy for another previous malignancy. Both of these entities are associated with a high rate of unfavorable genetic mutations.
What is the expected outcome prognosis for AML?
Prognosis and Prognostic Factors Approximately 60% to 70% of adults with AML can be expected to attain CR status after appropriate induction therapy. More than 25% of adults with AML (about 45% of those who attain CR) can be expected to survive 3 or more years and may be cured.
How long can someone with MDS live?
Survival statistics for MDS

| Low | 5.3 years |
| Intermediate | 3 years |
| High | 1.6 years |
| Very high | 0.8 years |
What is multilineage dysplasia ( MLD ) in acute myeloid leukemia?
Multilineage dysplasia (MLD) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) correlates with MDS-related cytogenetic abnormalities and a prior history of MDS or MDS/MPN but has no independent prognostic relevance: a comparison of 408 cases classified as “AML not otherwise specified” (AML-NOS) or “AML with myelodysplasia-related changes” (AML-MRC)
What do you need to know about multilineage dysplasia?
MDS with multilineage dysplasia (MDS-MLD) The person has low numbers of at least 1 type of blood cell. There is a normal number (less than 5%) of very early cells called blasts in the bone marrow, and blasts are rare (or absent) in the blood.
How are AML with myelodysplastic syndrome ( MDS ) related changes classified?
The category “AML with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)–related changes” (AML-MRC) is separated from “AML not otherwise specified” (AML-NOS) by presence of MLD, MDS-related cytogenetics, or history of MDS or MDS/myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN). We analyzed 408 adult patients categorized as AML-MRC or AML-NOS.
What is the prognosis for myelodysplastic syndromes?
For reasons that aren’t clear, patients with this type of MDS tend to have a good prognosis (outlook). They often live a long time and rarely go on to develop AML. This type of MDS is uncommon. For MDS-U, the findings in the blood and bone marrow don’t fit any other type of MDS.
