[The place of IPA in the follow-up of elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia]

Abstract

Since 2020, a promising new treatment has been offered to elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia. However, adverse events complicate their treatment, which is performed on an outpatient basis. The advanced practice nurse could provide assistance in the follow-up of these elderly and polypathological patients, who require regular clinical and biological monitoring, adaptation of their therapies and the establishment of city-hospital coordination likely to guarantee their maintenance at home.
