Blood AdvancesTreatment Patterns and Outcomes of 2,310 Patients with Secondary Acute Myeloid Leukemia: A PETHEMA Registry Study

Outcomes from the large PETHEMA registry study shows that secondary AML is common (27% of AML cases) and has a median OS of 5.6 months vs. 10.9 months for primary AML, and has various differing characteristics compared to primary AML. These include older age at diagnosis, more high-risk cytogenetics, less FMS-like tyrosine kinase three internal tandem duplication, fewer NPM1 mutations, and received a lower intensity of chemotherapy.
