- Acute myeloid leukemia not expected to be curable with chemotherapy. This will include patients with high-risk cytogenetics (-7, -7q, -5, -5q, t(6,9), t(9,11), complex, Ph+), evolution from prior myelodysplasia or AML secondary to prior chemotherapy, failure to achieve remission, or second or subsequent remission. To ensure adequate time until disease progression, marrow blasts must be < or equal to 10%. This may be achieved using chemotherapy treatment.
