| Abstrakt: |
Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is a group of haematological malignant disorders. Although not a new disease, many studies have been conducted to explore AML etiology, pathogenesis and prognosis at molecular level over the past two decades. A meticulous and continuous review of the available literature is still required to contemplate currently discovered information. We searched Google Scholar and PubMed by using different key word such as: updates in diagnostic criteria of AML, WHO classification of AML, new prognostic factors and risk stratification of AML. Mostly articles are referred from international sources published during last five years. Some older articles were only used when pivotal information required could not be surpassed by newer articles. Initially 50 relevant articles were included which were subsequently reduced to 36 by excluding articles with similar information. In this review an attempt is made to approach the subject in the light of currently available literature. |
