Management of Acute Myeloid Leukemia: Current Treatment Options and Future Perspectives

Treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has improved in recent years and several new therapeutic options have been approved. Most of them include mutation-specific approaches (e.g., gilteritinib for AML patients with activating <i>FLT3</i> mutations), or are restricted to such defined...
