Abstract

Based on available data, all adults with AML under age 60 years with matched siblings should be considered for allogeneic transplantation in first remission, except for those with favorable risk cytogenetics and possibly those whose disease has normal cytogenetics and is FLT3/ITD negative and NPM1 positive. Patients with matched siblings not transplanted in first remission should be followed closely so that transplantation in early first relapse can be considered. Those without matched siblings should receive a MUD transplant in first CR if they have higher risk disease. All others should receive standard chemotherapy and consider a matched unrelated transplant or autologous transplant, should they relapse. RIC allogeneic transplantation using either a matched family member or a MUD can be considered for patients age 60 years or greater with AML in second or subsequent remission, or AML in first remission with intermediate or high risk disease.
