I'm not sure how the editing end of Wiki works so please forgive my breaking protocol... I deleted something from the genetics section of this page that said that first-degree relatives of those with AML are three times more likely to develop AML. I deleted it because I do not think that is true. I do not have a study to reference this (not my field, so I wouldn't even begin to comb through the studies) but I did I talk to my step father about it and he was a hematologist for 30 years. My dad died of AML and I am doing a family medical history which is why I came across this page. I spoke up about this because I couldn't let it slide that people would be thinking they are at increased risk for AML when it's very likely that they are not. — Preceding

I was wondering if it would be a good idea to add names of people (known for other things) that had a history of AML. I know one which might be notable because the person fully recovered from it after one publicly known relapse ( Ken Watanabe). I'm sure it would add to the integrity of the article. I see other medical articles that name people as well so I don't see a potential problem.-- Hyokano 09:00, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

This article somehow got through FAC and peer review without anyone pointing out that it doesn't conform to the layout at WP:MEDMOS; History really should be at the end. It also got through FAC with few PMIDs and without a correct bibliographic style on the books: I tried to add that info, but I'm not sure the ISBNs are correct, as the info I found at bn.com and amazon.com didn't seem to fit - please check the ISBNs I added. The books which are referred to more than once in footnotes should have complete entries in the References section. Sandy 05:18, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
I realize these are small points, but it's hard to get subsequent featured article candidates to follow guidelines when they can point to a current FA which does not. It would be helpful if such a quality article would follow WP:MEDMOS and WP:LAYOUT, by moving History to the bottom and following the conventions of Notes, References and Further reading (a section which should not be listed in this article, as there is none currently). I'm sorry I was traveling during the FAC, or I would have raised these points then. Sandy 17:55, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

It ties up the earlier comment about 70-80% of patients able to achieve a remission - the reader may be wondering what happened to the other 20-30%. Also early relapse should be mentioned. And also the fact that most hospitals will not do a stem cell transplant unless the patient is in remission - possibly after a relapse. 75.83.178.154 ( talk) 13:53, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
I think this is an excellent article, but like so many of the kind, I believe it is focused a little too heavily on the professional readership. In the section on treatments, for instance, I would expect a little more information on the (side) effects of treatment. The 1 month of hospital stay to (among other things) recover from treatment sounds ominous, and the average reader (e.g. myself) would certainly like to know a bit more there. Leukemia treatments are famed to be extremely high-dose/aggressive, and I'm missing information on that means for the individual patient. What do others think?

Images are great, but a bit hard to come by. We have some photos at our article on Sweet syndrome which we could consider using here. I agree with your point about symptoms of AML - I think (if I in fact wrote the sentence in question) that the intended meaning was that blood tests were the first clue that AML (as opposed to some other condition) was to blame for the various symptoms of fatigue, easy bruising, anemia, etc. Certainly most patients present with symptoms rather than being picked up asymptomatically on screening CBCs, so I agree with you that we should clarify. Your reference is a good one.
It would be worth mentioning tumor lysis syndrome. In practice this is fairly uncommon with AML, but that's probably because of the widespread use of prophylactic measures and the use of hydroxyurea or leukapheresis to reduce leukemic burden before initiating chemotherapy.

JLW: I will answer your three points to the best of my knowledge. Your first comment about relative vs. absolute risk is valid, and I am satisfied with the current phrasing on the article page. Your second point concerns side-effects. HDC is used together with very low doses of IL-2 (approximately 1 million units sq BID, as opposed to the approved regimen in e.g. renal cell carcinoma of 18 million units per meter square by iv infusion). Side-effects such as autoimmune thyreoiditis and capillary leak do indeed occur with higher doses of IL-2, but not with these low or even ultra-low doses of IL-2. An abstract from the 2008 EHA conference (Brune et al., 2008) reported no difference in the quality of life (using the EORTC QLC 30 instrument) of treated and untreated AML in the phase III trial, thus underscoring that HDC/IL-2 seems to be a relatively non-toxic regimen.

The Transformation: Is it possible to control cancer without killing it?
By Jerome Groopman
September 15, 2014
OTOH this is Phase I research and Wikipedia likes to avoid every new overhyped "breakthrough" in the news. OTOH this is interesting science in its own right, and it's singled out by Groopman, who is a recognized expert, for an article in the New Yorker. He also gives elaborate explanations about why we should be cautious of even successful Phase I studies.
And Groopman has great background on AML written in language that is more understandable than Wikipedia can ever hope to be. For example, he describes what AML bone marrow looks like under the microscope. "Up close, healthy marrow looks like an Impressionist painting—a variegated landscape of cell types and colors. Leukemic marrow is a monotonous canvas of cancer cells."

Doesn't AML refer to all non-solid acute blood cell (precursor) malignancies? Or better, all acute leukemias excluding those of lymphoid lineage? Then would it not be a good idea to replace "The malignant cell in AML is the myeloblast." under Pathophysiology into "The malignant cells in AML can be precursors of all blood cells, except lymphocytes (which are classified as ALL)." And further in the text replace "myeloblast" with "blood cell precursor". The text as it is now would rather refer to Acute myeloblastic leukemia. Perencake ( talk) 14:24, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

As can be seen in the Featured version, the citation style used in this article was the long-standing and well established Diberri format, with vancouver style authors and more than five authors truncated to three. Per WP:CITEVAR, I have restored the established citation style, so that one does not have to edit around 7,000 bytes of unnecessary citation template parameters.

Does someone who knows something about cancer work out whether to add this new study: Mutant nucleophosmin and cooperating pathways drive leukemia initiation and progression in mice doi:10.1038/ng.796 ( BBC News writeup). — Tom Morris ( talk) 12:54, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
Doesn't AML refer to all non-solid acute blood cell (precursor) malignancies? Or better, all acute leukemias excluding those of lymphoid lineage? Then would it not be a good idea to replace "The malignant cell in AML is the myeloblast." under Pathophysiology into "The malignant cells in AML can be precursors of all blood cells, except lymphocytes (which are classified as ALL)." And further in the text replace "myeloblast" with "blood cell precursor". The text as it is now would rather refer to Acute myeloblastic leukemia. Perencake ( talk) 14:24, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

As can be seen in the Featured version, the citation style used in this article was the long-standing and well established Diberri format, with vancouver style authors and more than five authors truncated to three. Per WP:CITEVAR, I have restored the established citation style, so that one does not have to edit around 7,000 bytes of unnecessary citation template parameters.
