Acute Myeloid leukemia (AML) is a cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. The disease starts in the bone marrow, where blood cells are made, and results in the production of abnormal white blood cells. These cells crowd out healthy blood cells, leading to various health issues. 

Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a rare but aggressive form of leukemia that primarily affects older adults, though it can occur at any age. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential due to the rapid progression of the disease.

Signs and Symptoms of AML:

• Fatigue and Weakness: Chronic tiredness, insufficient power, and difficulty breathing associated with anemia are frequently observed.
• Frequent Infections: Lack of healthy white blood cells causes high infection susceptibility.
• Bleeding: Frequent nosebleeds and bleeding gums are common.
• Bone and Joint Pain: Pain or discomfort in bones or joints may arise from overcrowded bone marrow.
• Unexplained Weight Loss: Rapid weight loss without any change in diet.

AML generally results from genetic mutations in bone marrow cells, although the exact causes are often unknown. These mutations may cause cells to proliferate abnormally, affecting healthy blood cells. Some causes and contributing factors include:

• Genetic Predisposition: Family history of blood disorders or leukemia.
• Environmental Exposures: Exposure to certain chemicals like benzene and radiation can increase AML risk.
• Previous Cancer Treatments: Certain chemotherapy drugs or radiation therapies for other cancers can raise AML risk later in life.

Seek Medical Attention if you experience:

• Sudden Fatigue: If fatigue is accompanied by other symptoms such as fever or infections.
• Persistent Fever or Infections: Especially if resistant to antibiotics or common treatments.
• Unexplained Bruising and Bleeding: If bleeding occurs frequently or without known cause.
• Weight Loss and Pain: Rapid, unexplained weight loss or ongoing joint pain should prompt medical evaluation.

Risk Factors for Acute Myeloid Leukemia:

• Age: AML is more common in older adults.
• Gender: Men are more likely to develop AML than women.
• Previous cancer treatment: Some chemotherapy drugs can increase the risk of AML.
• Exposure to chemicals: Long-term exposure to chemicals like benzene (found in cigarette smoke) may raise the risk.
• Genetic disorders: Conditions like Down syndrome can increase the likelihood of AML.
• Smoking: Tobacco use is a significant risk factor.
• Family history of blood disorders: A family history of leukemia or related diseases can raise the risk.

To diagnose AML, a doctor may perform the following tests:

• Complete Blood Count (CBC): Measures the red, white, and platelet cell levels.
• Bone Marrow Biopsy: A sample of bone marrow is taken to look for cancerous cells.
• Cytogenetic Analysis: A test to detect genetic abnormalities in the leukemia cells.
• Immunophenotyping: Determines the type of leukemia cells present.
• Flow Cytometry: Helps identify abnormal cells by testing their surface proteins.

 Treatment for AML includes several approaches that aim to destroy leukemia cells, prevent relapse, and restore healthy cell production. Primary treatment options include:

• Induction Therapy
  • Purpose: To achieve remission by reducing the number of leukemia cells.
  • Chemotherapy: The mainstay of induction therapy, usually involving a combination of drugs (e.g., cytarabine and anthracycline).
• Consolidation Therapy
  • Purpose: To prevent relapse by targeting residual leukemia cells post-induction.
  • Chemotherapy/Stem Cell Transplant: High-dose chemotherapy or stem cell transplantation may follow to increase survival chances.
• Targeted Therapy
  • Purpose: Attacks specific genetic mutations within leukemia cells.
  • Common Drugs: Midostaurin (for FLT3 mutations), Enasidenib (for IDH2 mutations).
• Stem Cell Transplantation
  • Purpose: Replaces damaged bone marrow with healthy cells, often after high-dose chemotherapy.
  • Types: Allogeneic (from a donor) or autologous (patient’s cells).
• Supportive Care
  • Antibiotics and Antifungals: To prevent infections due to low white blood cells.
  • Transfusions: Red blood cell or platelet transfusions to treat anemia or bleeding.
  • Growth Factors: To encourage white blood cell production and reduce infection risk.

​

Do's:

• Follow your treatment plan as prescribed by your doctor.
• Maintain good hygiene to reduce the risk of infection.
• Eat a balanced diet to help your body heal and stay strong.
• Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids.
• Communicate openly with your healthcare team about any side effects or concerns.
• Practice gentle exercises (as advised) to keep your body active.

Don'ts:

• Don't ignore new or worsening symptoms; report them to your doctor immediately.
• Don't skip medical appointments or tests, as they are essential for monitoring your progress.
• Avoid crowded places during treatment to reduce infection risk.
• Avoid raw or undercooked foods, as they may contain bacteria that could make you sick.
• Don't smoke or drink alcohol, as they can interfere with your recovery.
