The five-year survival rate for AML is 31.9%, meaning less than one-third of those diagnosed with AML will be alive five years later. This rate is much better for younger patients, especially those under age 20.
According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), around 90 percent of people with an AML type known as acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) will go into remission after “induction” (first round)...
What is the survival rate of acute myeloid leukemia? Acute myeloid leukemia is a complicated illness. There are several AML subtypes, which makes it difficult to be specific about survival rates. For example, the five-year survival rate for children under age 15 is 67%.
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a rapid and aggressive form of leukemia. While medical advancements have improved survival rates, AML remains a formidable disease. The overall 5-year relative...
About 20,800 people will be diagnosed with AML. Most cases will be in adults. About 11,220 people will die from AML. Again, most of these deaths will be in adults. AML accounts for about 1 out of 3 leukemias in adults. Still, AML isn't common, accounting for about 1% of all cancers overall.
The five-year survival rate for adults with AML in the U.S. is 29.5%. For children and adolescents aged 19 or younger, the five-year survival rate is 66%. APL has a more favorable prognosis than AML and, in the majority of cases, can be cured.
The HMRN statistics are for net survival. Net survival estimates the number of people who survive their cancer rather than calculating the number of people diagnosed with cancer who are still alive.
“Approximately 20,000 people get AML and 10,000 people die every year from AML in the United States,” Dr. Pemmaraju said of AML. The good news: diagnostic and treatment advances over the last 50 to 60 years have brought about improved survival rates — plus greater potential for long-term remissions now more than ever.
Approximately 60% to 70% of adults with AML can be expected to attain CR status after appropriate induction therapy. More than 25% of adults with AML (about 45% of those who attain CR) can be expected to survive 3 or more years and may be cured.
