Factors Predictive of Outcome in Multivariate Analysis from MRC AML 11
Summary Using conventional chemotherapy, complete response rates of 50% and a median survival of 9 months can be expected in patients over age 55 with AML. However, patient and disease-related factors vary greatly and heavily influence treatment outcome. Particularly important are: Age Performance status 1° vs. 2° presentation Cytogenetics MDR status
