[Research advances on mechanisms of chemoresistance in acute myeloid leukemia].

ABSTRACT

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a common type of hematopoietic malignancies seriously threatening human life. Resistance to chemotherapy is one of the main reasons for recurrence and refractoriness of acute myeloid leukemia. The mechanisms of chemoresistance are complex. This article reviews the mechanisms of chemoresistance in acute myeloid leukemia,the current research advances and the possible approach for reverse of drug resistance.
