Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is generally addressed by a chemotherapy regimen, however, this method of treatment is highly nonspecific and a relapse of the disease occurs in a majority of patients. Due to the nonspecific nature of the chemotherapy drug, it is hypothesized that chemotherapy temporarily solves the problem and fails to completely eliminate the the cancer stem cells, which harbor the potential for self-renewal and continuous proliferation. This has lead to the need for a better drug…

Promyelocytic leukemia is a type of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), a cancer of the white blood cells caused by a translocation between chromosomes 15 and 17.
