Interpretation of complete remission (CR) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains a topic of debate. In 2003, the International Working Group (IWG) published recommendations for standardization of response criteria in AML.[1] The combination of morphologic remission (< 5% marrow blasts) and absence of a unique phenotype by flow cytometry was used. Whether practioners still use these or have begun to incorporate cytogenetic/molecular markers into their definition of CR is not known. With increasing knowledge of cytogenetic/molecular changes for AML that could define CR,[2, 3] this information may already be in use to classify remission for treatment decisions. To address this question, we created an electronic survey comprised of questions to identify criteria physicians use to classify CR in AML and how these influence treatment recommendations.
