Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous disease characterized by the accumulation of malignant myeloid progenitor hematopoietic cells in the bone marrow and peripheral blood. Recent studies have shown promising results with the use of small molecule inhibitors and targeted therapy in the treatment of patients with AML. One such molecule is venetoclax, which has been approved in AML by the FDA in combination with hypomethylating agents or low-dose cytarabine. We thoroughly searched electronic literature related to venetoclax and its role in AML, using databases such as MEDLINE, PubMed, Google Scholar, and PsychInfo, through April 2024. We applied population, intervention, comparison, and outcome criteria, specifically focusing on studies with a population using venetoclax from review articles and clinical trials. All selected studies were required to be in English, and any study that did not involve the use of venetoclax was excluded. A meticulous literature review was conducted to consolidate the current knowledge and new combination therapies on AML. In our review article, we focused on the latest advances in the treatment of patients with AML. Based on the literature, we recommend that physicians prioritize the use of venetoclax in the management of this deadly disease because it has been shown to significantly impact the course of the disease.
期刊介绍:
Although laboratory and clinical cancer research need to be closely linked, observations at the basic level often remain removed from medical applications. This journal works to accelerate the translation of experimental results into the clinic, and back again into the laboratory for further investigation. The fundamental purpose of this effort is to advance clinically-relevant knowledge of cancer, and improve the outcome of prevention, diagnosis and treatment of malignant disease. The journal publishes significant clinical studies from cancer programs around the world, along with important translational laboratory findings, mini-reviews (invited and submitted) and in-depth discussions of evolving and controversial topics in the oncology arena. A unique feature of the journal is a new section which focuses on rapid peer-review and subsequent publication of short reports of phase 1 and phase 2 clinical cancer trials, with a goal of insuring that high-quality clinical cancer research quickly enters the public domain, regardless of the trial’s ultimate conclusions regarding efficacy or toxicity.
