Brief Summary:
RATIONALE: Studying natural killer cells in samples of blood from patients with cancer may help doctors find out how these cells are effected by chemotherapy.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying natural killer cells in older patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
Detailed Description:
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
* Determine the evolution of functional receptors of natural killer (NK) cells after completion of chemotherapy in elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia in first remission.
Secondary
* Measure the kinetics of cytotoxic functional recovery of NK cells.
* Determine activation markers of NK cells.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
Patients receive 1 course of consolidation therapy comprising an anthracycline and cytarabine to induce first remission.
Blood is collected on day 0 of the consolidation course and then every 2 weeks for 8 weeks.
