What should an AML patient consider when deciding on a treatment option? Down the line, when a transplant is an option, some patients decide not to do it. And that is a reasonable decision. Transplant has high degree of mortality. In morbidities, people get very sick. And so some patients decide that they will take their chances or they'll just continue the therapy to suppress the disease and not do the transplant, especially if they're older or if they have other concerns. So that could be a choice. But otherwise, unfortunately, there are not that many choices that patients can make.
