Acute Leukemia Treatments
 
What are the treatments for Acute Leukemia? My sister's condition has just progressed to this stage? Can anything be done? Can any of you who have AML please email me at:

AML
 
Hi Alicat,
I don´t have AML (yet) but I think treatment is very similar all over the world:

In Sweden they now try to give maintenance treatment with Vidaza in patients with advanced MDS and MDS-AML, who have obtained complete remission with intensive chemotherapy.
Kind regards
