According to the National Institutes of Health, acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common acute leukemia among the adult population and accounts for about 80% of all cases.
Walter said he “went from being extremely healthy to being extremely sick in about 48 hours” before learning that he had AML. After a failed attempt at chemotherapy, Walter’s outlook changes when a donor gives him the opportunity to undergo a transplant procedure - and Walter gains a “new family member” in the process.
Featuring renowned expert:
Dr. David A. Sallman, myeloid section head at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida.
