Outcome of Adolescents and Young Adults Compared to Pediatric Patients with Acute Myeloid and Promyelocytic Leukemia

Studies on outcome of adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) are limited. We compared outcomes of AYAs (19-30 years) and pediatric (0-18 years) AML and APL patients using SEER-18 registry. AYAs with AML have worse early mortality and overall survival compared to pediatric AML, while AYAs and pediatric APL patients have similar outcomes.
