Accessing the Right Treatment

As a rare disease, AML requires specialist knowledge. Even your local Consultant Haematologist, if situated outside an AML referral centre, may not have up to date information on the treatment of this disease.

To ensure more people survive AML, we must detect the cancer earlier and react to it immediately. 

​

Patients with AML become very ill very quickly. AML suppresses the healthy immune system putting patients at high risk of acquiring potentially life-threatening infections. In just days or weeks from onset, many patients may become too unwell to be considered fit enough to withstand current treatment or admission onto a clinical trial.

​

It is imperative that all patients receive access to specialist care as soon as possible following diagnosis or relapse, ensuring patients are assessed for and receive the most up to date treatment.

Action AML is campaigning to improve patient outcomes in AML by getting patients to

specialist centres of excellence and assessed in line with best practice guidelines, faster. 

Ensure you ask about being referred to a specialist centre immediately
