ABSTRACT
Although the application of combined chemotherapy has made a great progress in treatment of adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML), the overall survival rate is still not high, mainly because of high recurrence rate and drug resistance. The treatment regimen for relapsed/refractory AML is always strong. Due to the chemotherapy drugs lacking of specific identification of tumor cells, significant adverse reactions often come out and sometimes even endanger the life of patients. In order to improve the life quality and survival rate, the new treatment strategy is urgently needed. With the deepening of research, the new molecular targets of tumor cells including the abnormal expression of cell surface morecules, gene mutation and abnormal gene methylation has been found. Targeted drugs for these abnormal changes could improve the prognosis of AML patients, providing a new way for AML treatment. This review summarizas the progress of molecular targeted therapy of AML.
