AML

Hi Alicat,
I don´t have AML (yet) but I think treatment is very similar all over the world:
http://www.cancer.org/docroot/CRI/co...ukemia_AML.asp

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
Birgitta-A
