[Expectations and challenges for clinical application of cancer genome panels in acute myeloid leukemia].

The blood cancer field has played a pioneering role in advancing precision medicine, with milestones such as development of ABL1 inhibitors for chronic myeloid leukemia. The significance of gene mutation information in AML treatment has increased, evident in classifications and guidelines from organizations such as WHO and ELN. This article examines the anticipated roles of cancer genome panels (CGPs) in AML treatment from three perspectives: diagnosis, risk stratification, and treatment selection. Use of CGPs enables more accurate diagnosis and risk stratification. In treatment selection, CGPs not only complements but also substitutes existing companion diagnostics, and is expected to be a crucial information source for future drug adoption and investigation of tumor-agnostic therapies. However, various challenges remain to be addressed, including the purpose and timing of CGPs, the time required for the tests, and how to utilize expert panels.
