The fight to effectively treat and cure the complex disease of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) continues.

In this episode, we speak to Dr. Elie Traer, Dr. Karin Rodland and Dr. Lee Greenberger about an exciting new study for AML. The doctors share about a longtime collaboration between Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) using patient samples from LLS’s Beat AML Master Clinical Trial to further understand the proteins on the cancer cells, resulting in the development of more targeted treatments for AML patients.
