"My mum was saying, 'It's fine, you just have an infection, it's fine, it's fine, they're going to fix it.' But I knew."

Leah was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) at the age of 22, but only after she made multiple visits to her GP, and an admittance from a haematologist that she was only given a blood test after crying during her appointment.

To kick-start our September #SpotLeukaemia campaign, Leah shares her story in this video.

Defining therapeutic strategies in elderly acute myeloid leukemia
Defining therapeutic strategies in elderly acute myeloid leukemia administrator 5 Views • 2 years ago

The prognosis of elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains poor despite recent therapeutic advances. At the 20th Congress of the European Hematology Association (EHA), Charles Craddock, FRCPath, FRCP, DPhil, BMBCh, of the University of Birmingham, Birmingham, UK, evaluates the current management options available for this patient population. Increasingly, biological age, rather than chronological age, is being used to help define treatment options for patients, which can include allogeneic stem-cell transplantation, hypomethylating agents and investigational drugs.

Acute myeloid leukemia, often shortened to AML, is a type of cancer affecting the stem cells in the bone marrow.

There are a number of tests that are used to diagnose AML. To start with, your doctor will perform a physical examination and arrange for blood tests.

Blood tests are performed to look for changes in the numbers and appearance of the different types of cells in the blood. The presence of an abnormally high number of white blood cells could be an indication of AML and further testing would be needed.

This animation explains how AML is diagnosed and the tests that may be performed. Please watch it and share it amongst your network using #KnowAML

Acute myeloid leukemia symptoms, diagnosis and treatment
Acute myeloid leukemia symptoms, diagnosis and treatment administrator 1 Views • 2 years ago

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) occurs when too many immature blood cells are produced by the bone marrow. Anemia, infection and bleeding may result and become life threatening.

Guillermo Garcia-Manero, M.D., professor in Leukemia at MD Anderson Cancer Center, explains the symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of acute myeloid leukemia.

AML is part of MD Anderson's Moon Shots Program; is a highly-concentrated effort to rapidly and dramatically decrease suffering and death in several major cancers.
