Potential Biomarkers for Diagnosis and Prognosis of Acute Myeloid Leukemia

For many years, cancer has affected the global population from an economic, social and political point of view and, in most cases, it is a malignant tumor with serious consequences for patients. The objective of this study is to answer the potential biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of acute myeloid leukemia. Therefore, this is an exploratory, descriptive bibliographic study with a qualitative approach. The data were collected from a bibliometric survey carried out during a study of scientific production on the proposed topic from 2013 to 2023. After searching for articles, 210 articles were found on the PubMed platform, and no results were found for the key suggested by word in other databases. Among the 210 articles, 28 articles were selected for review. In this way, we seek to analyze which biomarkers have been addressed in the last 10 years in the scientific literature, thus aiming to demonstrate possible targets for new research. We divide our research into genes that are promising biomarkers for diagnosis and/or prognosis and the role of miRNAs as biomarkers.
