About acute myeloid luekemia, can you survive if elderly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Difficult: It really depends on age and type of aml. Some have better prognosis than others. It also depends on co-morbid status. Patients who evolve from mds also do very poorly. The issue is does that patient have a good prognosis or bad prognosis aml. If they are a condidate for treament can they tolerate agressive treatment or not. Most will do poorly unfortunately, especially above 80.
