Which subtype of acute myelogenous leukemia is most commonly linked to a high risk of developing disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)?
Explanation
Among the subtypes of acute myelogenous leukemia, acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is notably associated with a significant incidence of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), a serious clotting disorder. Other subtypes such as acute erythroid leukemia, acute megakaryoblastic leukemia, and acute myelomonocytic leukemia are less commonly linked to DIC.
