New study indicates arsenic could be suitable as first-line treatment in type of leukaemia
...AML should be reclassified by dividing it into two groups APL with t(15-17) and t(15,17) negative AML. t(15-17) negative AML would then be sub-divided in line with the World Health Organization's histologic classification system.
