【醫學英語延伸閱讀】
Although it was incurable 50 years ago, AML is now cured in 35 to 40% of adult patients who are 60 years of age or younger and in 5 to 15% of patients who are older than 60 years of age. The outcome in older patients who are unable to receive intensive chemotherapy without unacceptable side effects remains dismal, with a median survival of only 5 to 10 months. Although the cytogenetic heterogeneity of AML has been recognized for more than 30 years, the enormous molecular heterogeneity of the disease has become increasingly apparent over the past 15 years. Studies have shown that most cases of AML are characterized by clonal heterogeneity at the time of diagnosis, with the presence of both a founding clone and at least one subclone. The prognostic importance of this biologic heterogeneity is well accepted, but translation of this new information into improved therapy is just beginning. 選自新英格蘭雜誌Sep,17,2015
