AML is: Evaluated with molecular tests such as flt 3 itd npm1. Most important if the bm cytogenetic s were normal. Look at the AML info at lls.Org.

Cytogenetics: If the peripheral blood speciment is adequate for cytogenetic evaluation. Bone marrow aspirate is usually more preferable speciment for cytogenetic evaluation -especially if the peripheral blood is not adequate. I advise you to d/w your oncologist for detail discussion re- cytogenetic, prognostication etc. However, a normal cytogenetics- will put her on the intermediate risk category. See lls.Org.
