Nicholas Short
June 30, 2022
During the ASCO 2022 Congress, Know AML spoke with Nicholas Short, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, US. We asked, What treatments are available for older patients before a stem cell transplant?
Short begins by discussing the effect lower intensity combinations have had on the treatment of older patients with acute myeloid leukemia, including azacitidine/decitabine + venetoclax. Short outlines patient groups that might be prescribed this combination therapy, followed by transplant, and data that support this treatment choice.
