Blood Science Update | Long-Term Outcomes of Cytarabine Use in Pediatric APL: 12-Year Follow-Up of a Randomized Controlled Trial
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is among the most curable forms of pediatric acute myeloid leukemia, primarily due to the success of ATRA and arsenic trioxide (ATO)-based therapies. However, the contribution of cytarabine (Ara-C) to long-term outcomes remains debated. In this newly published study in Blood Science, researchers present the results of a prospective, randomized trial examining the long-term impact of adding Ara-C during consolidation therapy for children with APL.
