AML World Awareness Day: Accelerating Research Through Patient Participation

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a complex blood cancer that requires ongoing research to develop better treatments and ultimately find a cure for all patients. While significant progress has been made, there's still much to discover. This AML World Awareness Day, let's explore how patients themselves can play a critical role in accelerating AML research efforts.

The Power of Patient Participation

For researchers, access to real-world patient data is invaluable. It allows them to understand the differences within the disease, the effectiveness of various treatments, and the long-term experiences of patients. But how can you, as an AML patient, contribute to this crucial data collection?

At HealthTree Foundation, we are dedicated to empowering patients to become active participants in research. Here's how HealthTree facilitates your involvement:

• The HealthTree Cure Hub: This secure online platform is specifically designed for blood cancer patients. It allows you to connect your medical records and share your experiences through surveys and online forums. Researchers can access the anonymized data, which provides invaluable insights into the real-world course of AML.
• Clinical Trials: HealthTree actively promotes ongoing clinical trials for AML. Participating in these trials gives you access to potentially groundbreaking new treatments while directly contributing to medical advancements.

HealthTree Foundation: More Than Research

At HealthTree, we go beyond data collection. We understand the emotional and psychological challenges faced by AML patients. Here are some additional ways HealthTree Foundation for AML can support you:

• Community Building: HealthTree fosters a supportive online community where you can connect with fellow AML patients and caregivers. Sharing experiences, challenges, and triumphs can be a powerful source of strength and hope.
• Educational Resources: HealthTree provides a wealth of information on AML, treatment options, managing side effects, and living well with the disease. This knowledge can empower you to make informed decisions about your care.
• Support Services: HealthTree can connect you with additional resources, such as financial assistance programs, patient navigators, and emotional counseling services. Contact us at 1-800-709-1113 or support@healthtree.org.
