The prognosis of acute promyelocytic leukaemia has passed from nearly desperate to highly curative over the last 40 years due to better understanding of the biology of the disease, the introduction of anthracyclines, all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA), arsenic trioxide (ATO) and the implementation of better supportive care during the treatment. If this also holds true for older patients will be discussed in this review.

After a successful first edition in Lisbon, a second edition of this scientific working group meeting was held in Warsaw in October 2018. The objective was to organise roundtables with scientists, clinicians, onconurses and patient’s organisations to improve the management of older patients with haematological disorders. Several unsolved issues were debated as outlined below.

The management of acute promyelocytic leukaemia has evolved considerably. The standard front-line approach with all-trans retinoic acid and chemotherapy has recently been challenged by the chemo-free combination of all-trans retinoic acid and arsenic trioxide, which has emerged as the new standard of care for non-high-risk disease. This review gives an update of the management of acute promyelocytic leukaemia.
