Abstract

AML is the most commonly occurring acute hematological malignancy in adults. It represents more than 80% of all leukemias in patients over 60 years of age. The probability of acquiring a mutation in a gene that will confer selective advantage and clonal selection in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells increases with age. The focus of this review is to highlight on what is new in the 2016 revision to the World Health Organization classification of AML and related neoplasms. Attention to AML risk status by cytogenetics and molecular abnormalities will also be summarized.
