In 2010, approximately 12,330 people were diagnosed with and 8950 died of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). 1 As the population ages, the incidence of AML, along with myelodysplasia, seems to be rising.Equally disturbing is the increasing incidence of treatment-related myelodysplasia and leukemia in survivors of childhood tumors and young adulthood, such as Hodgkin disease, sarcomas, breast and testicular cancers, and lymphomas.Ionizing radiation and occupational exposure to benzene and petrochemicals are also associated with AML. 2 The NCCN AML Panel convenes annually to update guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of AML in adults.
