Original Abstract of the Article :
Activating mutations of FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) are present in 30% of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) patients at diagnosis and confer an adverse clinical prognosis. Mutated FLT3 has emerged as a viable therapeutic target and a number of FLT3-directed tyrosine kinase inhibitors have progress...See full text at original site

FLT3 Inhibition in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia: A New Oasis in the Desert of Cancer Treatment

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a challenging and often aggressive cancer, with activating mutations of FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) posing a significant obstacle to effective treatment. This research delves into the promising field of FLT3 inhibition, exploring the development of targeted therapies that specifically target FLT3 mutations. The authors highlight the ongoing efforts to develop new drugs and treatment strategies that effectively inhibit FLT3, offering hope for patients battling this complex disease.

The authors discuss the development of FLT3-directed tyrosine kinase inhibitors, specifically mentioning the recent approval of midostaurin and gilteritinib, as well as the promising potential of other agents like quizartinib and crenolanib. The research underscores the complexities of FLT3 inhibition, noting the challenges of overcoming potential drug resistance mechanisms and optimizing treatment strategies in different clinical settings.
