Acute myeloid leukemia accompanied by the BCR-ABL fusion gene 4. Retreated patients (referring to those who have previously undergone induction chemotherapy but can receive hydroxyurea for cytoreduction). 5. Patients concurrently suffering from malignant tumors in other organs (requiring treatment). 6. Active cardiac diseases, defined as one or more of the following: 1\) Uncontrolled or symptomatic angina pectoris history; 2) Myocardial infarction less than 6 months from the time of enrollment in the study; 3) History of arrhythmias requiring drug treatment or with severe clinical symptoms; 4) Uncontrolled or symptomatic congestive heart failure (\> NYHA Grade 2); 7\.
