Targeting FLT3 Positive AML with New & Improved Therapies with Dr. Margaret Kasner
Targeting FLT3 Positive AML with New & Improved Therapies with Dr. Margaret Kasner
Event Description
About 30% of acute myeloid leukemia patients have developed a mutation in the FLT3 gene. Up until recently, this specific mutation usually resulted in poor treatment outcomes. Today, we have several drugs designed to directly target this mutation and even more progress is occurring with newer drugs and various treatment combinations in clinical trials.
Dr. Kasner, an AML expert from the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center at Thomas Jefferson University, will summarize key developments and clinical trials currently underway for FLT3 positive AML. If you have a FLT3 mutation, this radio show episode is definitely for you.
