Managing acute myeloid leukemia in the context of sickle cell anemia and suspected Fanconi anemia in Tanzania: a case report
The onset of acute myeloid leukemia in this case could be attributed to a malignant transformation from an underlying cancer predisposition syndrome. Our particular focus was on the leukemia treatment response where we observed a failed induction, prompting the need for alternative treatment approaches in this category of patients with acute myeloid leukemia in order to realize better treatment outcomes.
