Abstract: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a malignant clonal disease in which abnormal bone marrow hematopoietic precursor cells accumulate due to differentiation disorder and excessive proliferation of the hematopoietic stem cells. In recent years, with the rational application of risk stratification, continuous research and development of the targeted drugs, advancement of supportive treatments and maturity of the hematopoietic stem cell transplantation technology, the survival rate of pediatric AML has been significantly improved.
