Learning Objectives & Overview
Overview
High-risk* acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has a poor prognosis and remains a therapeutic challenge.1 In this sponsored Symposium, recorded at the 4th Annual Meeting of the International Academy of Clinical Hematology, four leading experts present and discuss the latest real-world evidence on the use of Vyxeos Liposomal (daunorubicin 44mg / cytarabine 100mg powder for concentrate for solution for infusion) for the treatment of high-risk* AML, and how this might change the management of the condition.2–4
*High risk AML is defined as newly diagnosed, therapy related AML (t-AML) or AML with myelodysplasia-related changes (AML-MRC).
