This animation provides an overview of treatment failure and relapse in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Treatment failure occurs when your AML treatment is not successful in eliminating all the leukemia from your bone marrow after initial therapy (induction chemotherapy). It could also mean that the leukemia came back (relapsed) after being well controlled after chemotherapy and entering a state known as remission. You can learn about how often AML relapse occurs, who is at risk, why complete remission is less common in older adults, as well as cytogenetics and AML treatment failure.
