Background And Objectives: The prognosis of elderly patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) is usually dismal, while the true survival of older patients not included in clinical trials is not known. We retrospectively evaluated the impact on survival of an aggressive versus a non-aggressive approach in 1005 patients aged >60 years registered in the database of the GIMEMA cooperative group.
Design And Methods: Group A patients (n=621) received aggressive treatment, while group B patients (n=384) underwent non-aggressive therapy.
