Abstract
Background: Despite being considered as good prognostic acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), the long-term survival rate in core binding factor (CBF) AML leaves room for substantial improvement. Materials and Methods: We reviewed relevant English language literature related to treatment of CBF AML available in PubMed. Review also included meeting abstracts. Results: Multicycle high dose cytarabine in consolidation improves remission duration but larger groups report overall survival in the range of 40% to 50% at 5 years or longer. Conclusions: Concerted effort is needed toward improving outcomes in CBF AML through clinical trials and risk-adapted approach.
