Background:
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common type of acute leukemia in adults. Long-term survivors from AML may be at higher risk of second primary malignancies.
Patients And Methods:
We selected adult patients with AML aged≥18 years from the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology and End RESULTS (SEER 13) database. We used the multiple primary standardized incidence ratio session of SEER*stat software to calculate the risk of second primary malignancies in patients with AML.
Results:
Among 5,091 patients, 148 patients developed a total of 160 second primary malignancies, with an observed/expected (O/E) ratio of 1.17, (95% confidence interval=0.99-1.36), and an excess risk of 15.47 per 10,000 population. The risk of all-site cancer, cancer of gastrointestinal system, and oral and pharyngeal cancer in different age groups was found to be significantly higher among patients with AML compared to that of general US population.
Conclusion:
Adult patients with AML have a significantly higher risk of second primary malignancies compared to the general population.

Secondary Lymphoid Organs
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...

Disorders of Leukocytes
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune...
