A member asked:
I was wondering is bone marrow transplant mandatory for aml patients?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Bone marrow transplants are generally reserved for younger, otherwise healthy patients. Such patients who have an excellent response to induction and favorable molecular/cytogenetic risk may be able to avoid a transplant from a donor and may be able to just get high dose consolidation chemotherapy or an reinfusion of their own stem cells.
