Maher Salamoon, MD, Al-Baironi Hospital, Damascus, Syria, discusses the use of azacitidine and venetoclax prior to induction chemotherapy to enhance the bone marrow microenvironment in elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In a cohort of 20 patients receiving venetoclax and azacitidine for two months, bone marrow evaluations showed a significant reduction in malignant cells. Following this pre-induction phase, patients proceeded to chemotherapy, leading to a reduced induction mortality rate. This interview took place at the 29th Congress of the European Hematology Association (EHA) in Madrid, Spain.
