What challenges arise in the management of AML in complete remission?

Recent improvements in induction chemotherapy have resulted in 70–80% of patients reaching complete remission, however, the majority will eventually relapse. In this video, Vey discusses the challenges and corresponding solutions in managing relapse, including:

  • targeted therapies, such as venetoclax, as an alternative to standard consolidation
  • maintenance strategies, combining different agents for elderly patients with AML
