Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a clonal malignancy that arises from the primitive hematopoietic cells within the hematopoietic system. According to SEER cancer statistics, the 5-year survival rate for AML patients stands at a concerning 30%. Despite therapeutic advancements, the development of chemotherapy resistance and the risk of disease relapse pose significant barriers to curative outcomes. Evidence has linked elevated interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels in plasma and bone marrow to a poorer prognosis in AML, with IL-6 potentially fostering chemotherapy resistance through the enhancement of fatty acid uptake and the induction of stromal-like morphological changes in AML cells. However, the role of IL-6 as a potential biomarker for monitoring chemotherapy sensitivity in AML has not been fully elucidated. This study seeks to investigate the correlation between IL-6 levels in bone marrow supernatant and the sensitivity to chemotherapy, offering a clinical perspective that could pave the way for improved prognostic markers and personalized treatment strategies.
