An Evaluation of Treatment Patterns and Outcomes in Newly Diagnosed Elderly Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients: A Retrospective Analysis of Electronic Medical Records from US Community Oncology Practices

Conclusions As expected, OS in patients receiving low-intensity therapy or BSC with HU is poor for elderly AML patients. Remarkably, intensive induction strategies are rarely used for older patients in community oncology practice. Teaser MicroAbstract: This retrospective observational study of data from the US community oncology setting evaluates real-world treatment patterns and outcomes for newly diagnosed, elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The analysis focuses on those patients who did not receive standard induction therapy (‘3 + 7’ type regimens).
