Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia is a molecularly heterogenous disease caused by the rapid expansion and impaired differentiation of malignant myeloid progenitors. Overall, outcomes remain poor, and more than half of patients develop relapsed or refractory disease after front-line therapy. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) remains the best chance for cure for eligible patients, and the development of novel therapies including BCL2, FLT3, IDH1/2 and menin inhibitors, which are efficacious yet generally more tolerable, have enabled better bridging to prompt HCT. Despite the early success of targeted therapies, more generalized and efficacious therapeutic approaches remain in need, and numerous targeted immunotherapeutic agents (including CAR-T, bispecific and trispecific antibody therapies) are currently under investigation.
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.
