Abstract
Objectives: Identifying therapy-related AML (t-AML) of newly diagnosed acute leukemias is of great interest. Development of t-AML can occur after cytotoxic chemotherapy and/or radiation. We report a case of t-AML with CBFB::MYH11 fusion in a patient with a distant history of treated stage IIIB nodular sclerosing Hodgkin's lymphoma. We present the clinical course of the patient and the methods used to detect and monitor the rearrangement. Core binding factor AML (CBF-AML) after exposure to treatment is considered to be a good prognostic marker. The identification of these favorable AML subtypes such as CBF-AML highlights the importance of identifying genetic alterations, especially with increasing incidences of t-AML due to changes in choice of treatment and prognosis.
