Activity Description
Are you ready to leverage the benefits of the wide range of newly approved therapeutics that are revolutionizing patient care in AML? Find out in this “Clinical Consults” activity based on a recording at the 2023 USCAP Annual Meeting. A pathologist and a hematologist-oncologist team up to discuss how modern diagnostic techniques can lead to better, more collaborative, personalized care using novel therapeutics to manage challenging AML cases (including in high-risk and mutation-defined AML) and use cases to illustrate diagnostic testing techniques and how pathology and hem-onc can collaborate on treatment decision-making. Watch this video activity today and hear how pathologists and hematologist-oncologists can team up for better outcomes!

Target Audience This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of pathologists, hematologist-oncologists, and other healthcare professionals involved in the management of AML.

Educational Objectives Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:
  • Discuss the cytogenetic and histopathologic features that enable diagnosis and influence prognosis of different AML subtypes, including secondary AML/AML-MRC or FLT3, IDH1/2, or TP53-mutated disease
  • Select appropriate molecular/pathology tests to establish a diagnosis of AML or a specific AML subtype and collect relevant information for subsequent treatment decisions
  • Summarize current evidence supporting innovative cytotoxic, targeted, and immunotherapy strategies in different AML subtypes, including high-risk and mutation-defined disease
  • Facilitate the integration of novel therapeutics into team treatment plans informed by baseline test results, including for patients with secondary AML/AML-MRC or FLT3, IDH1/2, or TP53-mutated AML
