The development and approval of novel, effective therapies for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has lagged behind other malignancies. Judging success of therapy with meaningful endpoints is critical to development of new treatments. Overall survival (OS) has typically been the parameter necessary for regulatory approval of experimental therapy in AML. Herein, we discuss different strategies to define outcomes for patients with AML and their relative challenges.

Background: AML-M4Eo is a type of AML characterized by malignant proliferation of granulocyte and monocyte precursor cells accompanied by eosinophilia. Patients present as anemia, infection, bleeding, and tissue and organ infiltration. MICM classification makes the classification of AML more accurate and lays a foundation for the correct treatment and prognosis of AML.

Recent treatment advances have drastically improved outcomes for these diseases, but the overall survival (OS) is still exceptionally low due to the infiltration of leukemic cells in the central nervous system (CNS).

Methods: Platelet count (PLT), mean platelet volume (MPV), plateletcrit (PCT), and platelet distribution width (PDW) data were obtained from the GWAS catalog database as exposure factors. Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) data were obtained from the FinnGen database as outcome indicators.

Aim: Ovarian cancer (OC) is a fatal female malignant tumor that severely impacts the health of women worldwide. Due to the lack of diagnostic biomarkers, 70% of OC patients are considered in the advanced stage at the first diagnosis. Exploring novel biomarkers for OC diagnosis has become an urgent clinical need to address.

Background: The management of pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is based on the prognostic risk classification of initial leukemia. Targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a reliable method used to identify recurrently mutated genes of pediatric AML and associated prognosis.
Methods: In this study, we retrospectively evaluated the prognostic, and therapeutic utility of a targeted NGS panel covering twenty-five genes, in 21 children with de novo and 8 with relapsed or secondary AML.
