Prognosis
AML is a deadly form of malignancy, the prognosis for which has not improved in the last two decades. More importantly, it is a malignancy that is seen in older adults, therefore the number of cases is likely to rise as the population ages. [books.google.de]
Prognosis Prognosis is dependent upon age, cell type and the burden of the disease. [ 18 ] The prognosis is also worse with increasing socio-economic deprivation. [ 19 ] About 13% of people with AML develop secondary malignancies. [patient.info]
Other cytogenetic changes are associated with an average or intermediate prognosis, while others still are associated with a poor, or unfavourable prognosis. [leukaemia.org.au]
