  14. A precision medicine treatment approach that incorporates genomic data into treatment decisions appears to be feasible in older patients with untreated acute myeloid leukemia (AML), according to a study published in Nature Medicine. Investigators also found that delaying treatment until mutational data were available did not seem to increase the risk of early death or adversely impact overall...

  16. Using advanced RNA sequencing, scientists have identified two unique subtypes of a prominent mutation present in many patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) – called NPM1 – that could help predict survival and improve treatment response for patients whose leukemic cells bear the mutation. In research published Feb. 16, in Nature Communications, a team led by Princess Margaret Cancer Centre...

  17. Meningioma-1 (MN1) is a protein whose overexpression has been linked to acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and brain tumors, and 70% to 80% of AML patients with high overexpression of MN1 die within two years. Yet the mechanism by which MN1 causes these diseases has largely remained a mystery. “Looking at the sequence, the protein has no obvious structure,” said Kathrin M. Bernt, MD, a pediatric...

  19. TP53-mutant myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) represent a molecularly distinct, poor-risk patient subgroup frequently associated with complex karyotypes, high propensity for relapse, and inferior overall survival. Across TP53-altered MDS and AML, standard therapies for wild-type disease have been of minimal benefit, but a wave of investigational agents currently in...
