摘要
Despite more than 40 years of extensive study, it remains uncertain which individuals, if any, with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) in first remission should receive a blood cell or bone marrow transplant versus post-remission chemotherapy (or both). Nevertheless, there is a recent trend toward recommending more transplants in this setting. We consider four myths underlying this recommendation: (1) only individuals achieving second remission benefit from a transplant; (2) there is no effective therapy for relapse other than an allotransplant; (3) we can accurately predict which individuals with AML in first remission need a transplant; and (4) detection of minimal residual disease in first remission will resolve this controversy. We discuss these misconceptions and suggest approaches to resolve this issue.
