It may reveal both an excess of white blood cells (leukocytosis) or a decrease (leukopenia), and a low red blood cell count (anemia) and low platelets (thrombocytopenia) can also be commonly seen.[20] A blood film may show leukemic blast cells.[20] Inclusions [en.wikipedia.org]

Treatment
For example, the treatment can temporarily reduce someone’s ability to fight infection even more than the leukaemia does. So it is possible that patients can die from infections during or soon after their treatment. [cancerresearchuk.org]
Cells are usually CD34 positive. [2] Prognosis and treatment Median survival is about 9 months. [ipfs.io]
Many clinical trials focus on new treatments. Researchers want to learn if a new treatment is safe, effective, and possibly better than the treatment doctors use now. [cancer.net]
Trials are often designed to treat a certain stage of cancer, either as the first form of treatment offered, or as an option for treatment after other treatments have failed to work. [oncolink.org]
Median survival is about 9 months.Autologous stem cell transplantation has been used in treatment. [en.wikipedia.org]
Prognosis
EVI1 transcriptional activation has been reported in up to 10% of AML patients, even in the absence of 3q26 changes, and is an independent indicator of adverse prognosis. Rearrangements of the EVI1 locus are often associated with monosomy 7. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Relapsed AML (is recurrent disease after successful initial therapy) has a grim prognosis. [perthhaematology.com.au]

How can I prevent AML? In most AML cases, we don’t know the cause of the diagnosis. Thus, there aren’t any ways to prevent ALL from developing. [oncolink.org]
They eventually crowd out normal, healthy blood cells and prevent them from being produced. AML can accumulate in the blood stream and organs such as the lymph nodes, brain, liver, kidneys, ovaries, testicles, and skin. [seattlecca.org]
