Impact of Bone Marrow Aspirate Tregs on the Response Rate of Younger Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients by Mario Delia, Paola Carluccio, Anna Mestice, Claudia Brunetti, Francesco Albano, Giorgina Specchia

“…However, in multivariate analysis, apart from the expected impact of the molecular/cytogenetic risk (p=0.049) and NPM mutation (p=0.001), dBMA Tregs ≥ 21/μL was not correlated with OR. Actually, higher dBMA Tregs were associated with the good intermediate molecular/cytogenetic risk group (p=0.02), whose median OS was confirmed to be better as compared with that of the poor risk group (18 versus 5 months, p=0.05) and equal to the dBMA Tregs ≥ 21/μL group (5 versus 5 months, p=0.902), respectively. …”
