Survival after Pure (Acute) Erythroid Leukemia in the United States: A SEER-Based Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acute erythroid leukemia (AEL), also known as pure erythroid leukemia, is a rare subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) characterized by the proliferation of malignant erythroid precursors. Outcome data at the population level are scarce.

Methods

We performed a retrospective analysis of the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database. All cases with a histologically confirmed diagnosis of acute (pure) erythroid leukemia during the period of 2000-2019 were included in the study. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to perform survival analysis. The significance of differences between overall survival (OS) was analyzed using the log-rank test.

Results
