Every person's outlook with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is different. At Fred Hutch Cancer Center, specialists use detailed laboratory testing and other information to better understand your leukemia and recommend the treatment most likely to achieve the best possible outcome.

Acute Myeloid Leukemia Care Tailored to You

You and your family are our top priority. At Fred Hutch Cancer Center, we offer comprehensive and compassionate care — personalized to you. You'll have access to the latest treatment options, clinical trials and supportive care services.

Factors That Affect Prognosis

Your care team considers many factors when discussing your prognosis, including:

  • The subtype of AML
  • Genetic and molecular changes in the leukemia cells
  • Your age and overall health
  • Whether the leukemia is newly diagnosed or has returned
  • How well the leukemia responds to treatment

Talking with Your Care Team about Survival Rates

Your Fred Hutch care team will talk with you about what your diagnosis may mean for your individual outlook, based on your specific subtype of AML, your overall health and how it is responding to treatment. Prognosis numbers are based on groups of people and cannot predict exactly what will happen for any one person, so these conversations focus on your goals, treatment options and what to expect from follow-up care.
