Abstract
Over the last decade, there have been significant advancements in the treatment for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) including the addition of novel, targeted agents to intensive or nonintensive chemotherapy regimens. However, despite this, the majority of patients will still ultimately relapse and long-term survival remains poor. While the use of maintenance therapy has emerged as a potential strategy to maintain more durable remissions and improve overall survival, the optimal use of these therapies has not yet been clearly defined. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the evolution of maintenance strategies in AML and present a commentary on the future of maintenance therapy, including the pressing, unmet needs in this field.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Hematology offers extensive coverage of experimental and clinical aspects of blood diseases in humans and animal models. The journal publishes original contributions in both non-malignant and malignant hematological diseases, encompassing clinical and basic studies in areas such as hemostasis, thrombosis, immunology, blood banking, and stem cell biology. Clinical translational reports highlighting innovative therapeutic approaches for the diagnosis and treatment of hematological diseases are actively encouraged.The American Journal of Hematology features regular original laboratory and clinical research articles, brief research reports, critical reviews, images in hematology, as well as letters and correspondence.
