Mark Drummond obtained his medical degree from the University of Glasgow (UK) and since then has trained as a hematologist in the West of Scotland and the Canterbury District Health Board (Christchurch, New Zealand) and back at Glasgow University, where he also gained a PhD in chronic myeloid leukemia. He is currently a consultant hematologist and honorary senior lecturer at the Beatson Cancer Centre (Glasgow, UK) as well as an investigator on multiple UK and international clinical trials. Here he talks to Commissioning Editor Jennifer Straiton, commenting on the recent announcement from the Scottish Medicines Consortium, regarding their acceptance of the use of the combination chemotherapy treatment Vyxeos® (daunorubicin and cytarabine) for the treatment of high-risk acute myeloid leukemia in adults. He then discusses the ongoing and future clinical trials in this disease area and then turns to more personalized treatments.

Intra-Peritoneal Transplantation for Generating Acute Myeloid Leukemia in Mice

Here, intra-peritoneal injection of leukemia cells is utilized to establish and propagate acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in mice. This new method is effective in the serial transplantation of AML cells and can serve as an alternative for those who may experience difficulties and inconsistencies with intravenous injection in mice.

Flow Cytometry to Estimate Leukemia Stem Cells in Primary Acute Myeloid Leukemia and in Patient-derived-xenografts, at Diagnosis and Follow Up

We outline a protocol to detect simultaneous expression of leukemia stem cell markers on primary acute myeloid leukemia cells by flow cytometry. We show how to quantify three progenitor populations and a putative LSC population with increasing degree of maturation. We confirmed the presence of these populations in corresponding...

Identifying Bone Marrow Microenvironmental Populations in Myelodysplastic Syndrome and Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Here a detailed protocol to isolate and characterize bone marrow microenvironmental populations from murine models of myelodysplastic syndromes and acute myeloid leukemia is presented. This technique identifies changes in the non-hematopoietic bone marrow niche, including the endothelial and mesenchymal stromal cells, with disease progression.

Comprehensive Protocol to Sample and Process Bone Marrow for Measuring Measurable Residual Disease and Leukemic Stem Cells in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Detection of minimal or measurable residual disease (MRD) is an important prognostic biomarker for refining risk assessment and predicting relapse in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). These comprehensive guidelines and recommendations with best practices for consistent and accurate identification and detection of MRD, may aid in making effective AML treatment...
