National Survey Demonstrates Practice Gaps In Cytogenetic And Molecular Testing In Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Introduction: Bone marrow analysis with cytogenetics (karyotype with or without fluorescence in situ hybridization [FISH]) is necessary for risk stratification and informs treatment decision-making for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Evaluation of molecular genetic markers also contributes to risk assessment and prognostication for this patient population. This study aimed to identify practice gaps in the diagnosis of AML and follow-up evaluation post initial therapy.
