Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), Rapid Mutation Panel
Test Code
Clinical Significance
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), Rapid Mutation Panel - FLT3 testing is established as a prognostic marker associated with poor prognosis (high percentage of bone marrow blast cells, increased risk of relapse from CR, and reduced survival). However, with the advent of FLT3 inhibitors it is now also a test for targeted therapy in AML. The multi-kinase inhibitor Midostaurin, in combination with chemotherapy, is a targeted agent that significantly prolongs survival in patients with newly diagnosed FLT3-mutated AML and was recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Recently, the European LeukemiaNet recommends FLT3 testing (both tyrosine ...
