Clinical Features of Flt3 Mutations in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cases and the Role of Flt3 Inhibitors in the Treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia: A Single Center Experience
Abstract:AML is an aggressive and mortal disease. Worldwide, approximately 120.000 new AML cases and over 100.000 AML-related deaths occur each year and FLT3 mutations contribute to poor prognosis in AML. FLT3 mutations of 149 patients aged 20-95 years who were diagnosed with AML in our clinic were evaluated retrospectively. Relapse/refractory disease was found in 87.2% of these cases and FLT3 mutation in 25.5%. Of mutation-positive cases 65.8% had FLT3-ITD mutation and 34.2% had FLT3-TKD mutation. In our study, 38 pat… Show more
