AmL is divided in 3 risk group based on genetic and other parameters
1. Favorable risk- cure rate is almost 60 to 70 %
Treatment is chemotherapy only will cost around 12 to 15 L in corporate set up
2. Intermediate risk- cure rate is 40 to 50% and treatment is chemotherapy followed by allogenix stem cell transplant I there is donor. If no donor matched then only chemotherapy. Added cost of stem cell tx is 15 L in most of hospital for matched donor
