Acute Myeloid Leukemia Committee (AML)
Abstract
Outcomes of children with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have improved significantly in the past decades among others through efforts of cooperative groups, an intense collaboration and the coordination of research efforts. The I-BFM AML committee is a working group that unites doctors, biologists and researchers interested in pediatric acute myeloid disease and/or involved in treatment of patients with acute myeloid malignancies, such as AML and acute promyelocytic leukemia, Down syndrome associated leukemia and myeloproliferative disease. The mission of the I-BFM AML committee is the improvement of outcome and quality of life of children and adolescents with acute myeloid malignancies by promoting and advancing knowledge and exchanging information. The I-BFM AML committee is an interface between the various national and international cooperative groups, the research teams and organizations focused on innovative treatment such as ITCC (Innovative Therapies for Children with Cancer) and EUPAL (EUropean Pediatric Acute Leukemia) initiative.
Scientific aims
- Facilitate and promote the exchange of information between cooperative groups, including preliminary results of clinical trials.
- Support collaborative clinical trials, registries, and initiatives regarding innovation and early phase trials.
- Promote and facilitate collaboration in scientific research projects.
- Stimulate the exchange of discoveries between research groups and between researchers and clinicians.
- Support young investigators working in the field of myeloid malignancies.
