The Clinical Significance Of Npm1, Flt3 And Cebpa Gene Mutations In Adult Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukaemia

Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is a biologically complex and clinically heterogeneous haematological cancer, and its incidence increases in the elderly. Age, cytogenetics and genetic mutations remain important prognostic factors for treatment outcome. The main aim of the study was to determine the pr...
