Experts Talk AML #7: ELN Recommendations & New Classification of AML


Listen Later

A discussion between Dr. Daniel A. Pollyea and Dr. Brian Leber (November 2022)

Dr. Pollyea and Dr. Leber examine the new hierarchical AML classification algorithm proposed by the ELN expert panel and discuss its impact on the routine practice and design of future clinical trials in AML. They scrutinize diagnostic and prognostic features, from blast counts and genetic abnormalities to cytogenetic characteristics and diagnostic qualifiers. Finally, they provide insight into how various decision-makers in the US and Canada might react when approving treatment eligibility for patients who, due to the new classification, meet eligibility criteria that were not previously met.

The algorithm discussed is available on the podcast hosting site at www.hematologypodcasts.ca
