Abstract

Abstract Date Presented 04/21/2023 This study identified unique OT needs of older adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) receiving oral venetoclax and infusional hypomethalating agent (VEN + HMA) therapy. A battery of tests performed on 19 older adults in the early stages of chemotherapy suggest that grip strength and mobility decline and the need for more nuanced evaluation of cognition. We found careful evaluation was important to understand cognitive and physical impairments in the context of meaningful occupational challenges.
