Abstract
This study aimed to examine the prognostic significance of peripheral absolute monocyte count (AMC) in combination with absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) at the time of relapse in a cohort of 57 patients with early relapsed (first complete remission <12 months) acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Both univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analyses revealed that normal AMC in combination with normal/high ALC (versus low/high AMC in combination with low ALC) was significantly associated with improved OS. We concluded that the combination of AMC and ALC could be used as a prognostic marker for survival outcomes in early relapsed AML.
