Risk factors for AML (Acute Myeloid Leukemia) - silly way to remember!
Imagine an
Al-Qaeda terrorist with a
sheep with
3 Ps to his one side and a
65 year old man to his other. They are riding on a
Benz car with the
top spinning and
ABCD song plays in the background. All of a sudden there is an
atomic explosion.
The risk factors may remembered as follows

The risk factors may remembered as follows
- Al-Qaeda = Alkylating agents
Sheep with 3 Ps = - S (Smoking)
- H (Herbicides)
- E (Embalming agents)
- E (Ethylene oxide)
- P (Petroleum products)
- P (Paint)
- P (Pesticides)
- 65 year old man (self explanatory)
- Benz car = Benzene
- Top = Topoisomerase inhibitors
ABCD = Hereditary diseases - A (Ataxia telengectasia)
- B (Bloom’s syndrome)
- C (Congenital neutropenia = Konnmann syndrome)
- D (Down syndrome)
- Atomic explosion = High energy radiation prevalent after an atomic explosion.
Hoping this to be helpful to those wanting to learn about AML risk factors.
