Abstract
The goal of a disease classification system is (or should be) to provide a tool for researchers and clinicians to study and treat the disease. The last decade has seen a markedly improved understanding of the pathophysiology of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), the development of new methods to measure the disease, and approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of at least ten new therapies targeted to its treatment. In response, in 2022 one updated and one new AML classification system were published. In the same year, the European LeukemiaNet updated their recommendations about how to incorporate the advances in diagnosis and treatment into the risk stratification of AML and its treatment. The following discussion summarizes the highlights of these changes and offers an opinion of how well these changes meet the goal of aiding researchers and clinicians in the study and treatment of AML.
期刊介绍:
Best Practice & Research Clinical Haematology publishes review articles integrating the results from the latest original research articles into practical, evidence-based review articles. These articles seek to address the key clinical issues of diagnosis, treatment and patient management. Each issue follows a problem-orientated approach which focuses on the key questions to be addressed, clearly defining what is known and not known, covering the spectrum of clinical and laboratory haematological practice and research. Although most reviews are invited, the Editor welcomes suggestions from potential authors.
