title: Molecular monitoring to identify a threshold of CBFbeta/MYH11 transcript below which continuous complete remission of acute myeloid leukemia inv16 is likely.
abstract: Many patients with the inv(16) positive acute myeloid leukemia (AML) achieve complete remission (CR). Using real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), we previously proposed critical CBFbeta-MYH11 transcript copy number thresholds to predict relapse or cure. We now update the molecular follow-up of our patients, also presenting the therapeutic management of these patients.
