Measurable residual disease and maintenance therapy in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), stemness and chemotherapy resistance in AML, and effects of babesiosis on red blood cells in sickle cell disease

In this week's episode, we’ll learn more about how measurable residual disease might help guide decisions about post-transplant gilteritinib maintenance in FLT3-ITD acute myeloid leukemia, or AML; how stemness contributes to chemotherapy resistance in AML; and effects of babesiosis on red blood cells from individuals with sickle cell disease, sickle cell trait, and wild-type hemoglobin.
