[Clinical characteristics and prognosis of 35 patients with therapy-related hematological neoplasms].

OBJECTIVE

To investigate the morbidity, treatment outcomes and prognosis of 35 therapy-related hematological neoplasms patients.

METHODS

A total of 35 cases of therapy-related hematological neoplasms were examined genetically and immunologically using flow cytometry, karyotype analysis and FISH, and their clinical data were retrospective analyzed and literatures were reviewed.

RESULTS

Among 35 patients, there were 20 cases of therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML), 4 cases of therapy-related acute lymphoblastic leukemia (t-ALL), 1 case of acute mixed leukemia, therapy-related non-hodgkin' s lymphoma (t-NHL) in 8 cases and myelodysplastic syndrome (t-MDS) in 2 cases. The median onset of t-HN was 29(16-90) months, the median OS of t-HN was 14(1-60) months, and 3 years of OS was 17.1%. Among therapy-related acute leukemia (t-AL) patients, 40% (10/25) patients had combined complex karyotype, 36% (9/25) patients with MLL gene rearrangement, 12% (3/25) patients with combined AML/ETO fusion gene, 1 case with NPM1 point mutation and 1 case with P16 gene deletion.

CONCLUSIONS

Therapy-related hematological neoplasms had a worse prognosis.
