    Abstract With the recent development of several new effective agents, treatment of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is evolving. Molecularly targeted agents developed against leukemogenic pathways are demonstrating significant promise both as monotherapy and in combination with standard regimens. Although oral chemotherapeutic agents have long been used in the treatment of various malignancies, their use in patients with AML has been hitherto limited. The availability of most newly approved targeted agents in oral formulation has provided us with the potential for developing all oral regimens in AML. This is particularly important for the older, less fit patients allowing reduced requirements for hospital visits in order to administer therapy, especially when in remission and for continuation of therapy. A potential barrier to the success of such regimens is adherence to therapy with prior studies demonstrating increased success of therapy with high adherence. Strategies to develop completely oral regimens are likely to further revolutionize AML therapy especially in the elderly.

    Abstract Introduction: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive disease predominantly affecting the elderly population. The elderly population represents a challenging group to treat and the prognosis is generally poor with significantly worse treatment outcomes compared to the younger population. While the goal of treatment for younger fit patients is cure and includes intensive chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation, these strategies are not always feasible for elderly unfit patients due to increased frailty, co-morbidities, and, subsequently, an increased risk of treatment-related toxicity and mortality.
    Areas covered: This review will discuss both patient- and disease-related factors, outline prognostication models and summarize current treatment options, including intensive and less intensive treatment strategies and novel agents.
    Expert opinion: Although recent years have seen major advances in the development of low-intensity therapies, there is still a lack of consensus on the optimal treatment for this patient group. Because of the heterogeneity of the disease, personalizing the treatment strategy is important and curative-oriented approaches should be selected wisely, rather than following a rigid hierarchical algorithm.

    Abstract The introduction of agents targeted at specific molecular events is changing the treatment paradigms in a number of malignancies. Historically, we have relied entirely on DNA-interactive, cytotoxic drugs for treating patients with leukemia. Increased understanding of the leukemic cell biology and pathogenesis, and the ways they evade the immune surveillance mechanisms, will likely lead to the development of more effective agents, and regimens less reliant on chemotherapy, able to achieve deep levels of disease eradication. In Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the introduction of increasingly potent tyrosine kinas inhibitors (TKIs) has revolutionized therapy. These drugs have been established as the cornerstone of any therapeutic strategy in this disease, and a number of trials have better defined the best ways to incorporate them into the established paradigms. Despite using TKIs, we have continued to remain reliant on cytotoxic chemotherapy regimens and allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant to achieve the best long-term outcomes. However, with the introduction of more potent TKIs and other novel agents, as well as better methods for monitoring minimal/measurable residual disease, we are entering an era where we hope to diminish our reliance on transplantation and cytotoxic chemotherapy in this disease.

    Abstract Interest in detecting minimal/measurable residual disease (MRD) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has been increasing, but numerous issues need to be addressed if MRD assessment is to be routinely incorporated into practice. Assays, their reliability, standardization, and availability all must be considered, and a strategy developed to eradicate residual leukemia. This paper reviews some issues surrounding the routine incorporation of MRD assessment into practice.
