Genetic tracking could predict leukemia relapse, guide treatment

NCT ID NCT02756962

Summary

This study is testing whether tracking specific cancer-related genetic mutations in patients' blood can help doctors better predict who is at high risk of their leukemia returning. Researchers are following 107 adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are in remission after initial treatment. They're comparing survival rates between patients whose mutations have cleared and those who still have them, to see if this genetic information can help decide between standard chemotherapy or a stem cell transplant.
