About Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) treatment is a specialized medical protocol managed by a Hemato-Oncologist to combat this aggressive blood and bone marrow cancer. The core procedure is intensive chemotherapy, often delivered in phases (induction and consolidation), aimed at destroying leukemia cells and restoring normal blood cell production. For eligible patients, a stem cell transplant (bone marrow transplant) may follow to rebuild a healthy immune system. Treatment is highly personalized, based on genetic mutations, age, and overall health, and may include targeted therapies or clinical trials. The Hemato-Oncologist coordinates all aspects of care, from diagnosis through long-term follow-up, in a specialized oncology unit.

Key Highlights

Comprehensive, personalized treatment plan designed by a specialist in blood cancers.Utilizes advanced chemotherapy protocols to rapidly target and reduce leukemia cells.Potential for curative intent, especially in younger, fit patients.Access to cutting-edge treatments like targeted therapy and stem cell transplantation.Integrated, multidisciplinary care involving transfusion support, infection management, and nutritional counseling.

Who is this surgery for?

Confirmed diagnosis of Acute Myeloid Leukemia via bone marrow biopsy and genetic testing.
Presence of symptoms like fatigue, frequent infections, easy bruising/bleeding, or unexplained fever.
High white blood cell (blast) count in peripheral blood.
As a first-line treatment for newly diagnosed patients to achieve remission.
For treatment of relapsed or refractory AML after previous therapy.

How to prepare

Comprehensive diagnostic workup: Complete blood count (CBC), bone marrow aspiration/biopsy, and cytogenetic/molecular testing.
Pre-treatment assessments: Heart (ECHO/ECG), lung, kidney, and liver function tests.
Consultation with the Hemato-Oncologist to discuss the treatment plan, phases, and potential side effects.
Dental check-up to prevent infections during immunosuppression.
Fertility preservation counseling (e.g., sperm/egg banking) if applicable.
Arranging for a central venous catheter (e.g., PICC line) placement for chemotherapy administration.

Risks & possible complications

Severe bone marrow suppression leading to infection, anemia, and bleeding risks.
Chemotherapy side effects: nausea, mouth sores, hair loss, and fatigue.
Potential damage to organs like the heart, liver, or kidneys.
High risk of life-threatening infections during periods of low immunity (neutropenia).
Complications specific to stem cell transplant, including graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and graft failure.
Long-term risks of secondary cancers or infertility.

Recovery & hospital stay

Initial recovery from induction chemotherapy occurs in the hospital over 4-6 weeks, focusing on managing side effects and waiting for blood counts to recover.
Frequent follow-up visits for blood tests and monitoring for signs of infection or relapse.
Consolidation chemotherapy or transplant may require additional prolonged hospital stays.
Post-discharge care includes strict hygiene, avoiding crowds, and a neutropenic diet to prevent infection.
Long-term follow-up with the Hemato-Oncologist for surveillance, managing late effects, and psychological support.

Typical hospital stay: 4-8 weeks (per treatment phase)
Expected recovery time: 6-12 months (for full recovery post-treatment)
