Abstract
Acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) is the most common acute leukemia of adults, and even with considerable improvements in the success of remission induction with chemotherapy, most patients will ultimately die with relapsed leukemia. Despite clinical, morphological, and laboratory evidence of patient heterogeneity, identification of prognostically important subgroups has proven difficult. Age greater than 60 years has been an adverse feature in most studies, and some studies have identified other poor prognostic catagories including a history of myelodysplastic syndrome, prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy, leukemic colony growth characteristics in vitro, presence or absence of bleeding or infection, and the extent of cytogenic abnormalities (1–9). The French-American-British (FAB) classification system for AML based on cell morphology (10,11). Some studies have identified prognostically significant groups within the FAB system (12,13), while others have not (4,14).
