Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) refers to hematological malignancy caused by a disorder of myeloid hematopoietic stem cells. Recent studies have shown that the expression of some autophagy-related genes in AML patients is closely related to the prognosis and leukocyte formation of AML patients. Therefore, we can use autophagy as a potential target for monitoring, prognosis, and molecular diagnosis of leukemia patients. The study summarized the interaction between AML and autophagy-related signal pathways (such as mTOR and PI3K pathway) and explained the influence of related inhibitors and activators on AML cells in recent years, which laid a theoretical foundation for clinical treatment and research development of AML patients. %K Autophagy %K Acute Myeloid Leukemia %K Signaling Pathway %K Clinical Treatment %U http://www.oalib.com/paper/6784396
