Mai Khaled Abdel Aziz Bishr;
Abstract
This is a retrospective observational study aiming at evaluation of response, and relapse rates as well as survival outcome of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients treated at our institute.
Patients & Methods:
The study included 117 AML patients presented to Kasr Al Ainy Center of Radiation Oncology and Nuclear Medicine (NEMROCK) during the period from January 2010 to December 2014.
We reviewed patients’ files for clinical and pathological characteristics as well as details of treatment and response. Patients diagnosed as acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) were identified and analyzed separately.
Results:
Ninety non-APL patients were included in the study, having mean age of 37.8 years and slight female predominance (male: female ratio 1:1.3). The most common French-American-British (FAB) subtypes were M2 and M5 representing 22% and 21% of patients, respectively.
Complete remission (CR) rate was 65%, 13.8% of patients
