de Greef et al reported criteria for complete remission for a patient with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The authors are from multiple hospitals in Europe.
Patient selection: AML following definitive treatment
Criteria for remission - all of the following:
(1) <= 5% blasts in the bone marrow
(2) absence of extramedullary leukemia
(3) platelet count >= 100,000 per µL
(4) absolute neutrophil count >= 1,000 per µL
Failure to achieve the cutoff in any of the parameters was associated with reduced overall survival and increased risk for relapse.
