Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML): New Approaches For A Complex Diagnosis
Monday, 20 April, 2026
Rebecca Olin, MD, MSCE Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a complex diagnosis, and it can be difficult to know what to expect in those early conversations after diagnosis. In this episode, we speak with Dr. Rebecca Olin from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), who helps explain what AML is and how care is approached today. Dr. Olin walks us through how doctors evaluate AML, what factors influence treatment decisions, and how therapies – including targeted treatments, stem cell transplant, and clinical trials – are helping improve outcomes and quality of life. We also discuss the importance of supportive care and ongoing research, offering listeners a clearer picture of how AML is treated now and where progress continues to be made.
