Bone marrowVEGFCexpression is associated with multilineage dysplasia and several prognostic markers in adult acute myeloid leukemia, but not with sur…

Vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGFC) stimulates leukemia cell proliferation and survival, and promotes angiogenesis. We studied VEGFC expression in bone marrow samples from 353 adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients and its relationship with several clinical, cytogenetic, and molecular variables. We also studied the expression of 84 genes involved in VEGF signaling in 24 patients. We found that VEGFC expression was higher in AML patients with myelodysplasia-related changes (AML-MRC) than in patients with non-AML-MRC. We also found an association between VEGFC expression and the patient cytogenetic risk group, with those with a worse prognosis having higher VEGFC expression leve…
Acute myeloid leukemia with NPM1 mutation and favorable European LeukemiaNet category: outcome after preemptive intervention based on measurable resi…

In the European LeukemiaNet favourable risk category, allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) is not indicated in first complete remission for patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) with NPM1 mutations (ELNfav NPM1 AML), although a proportion of these patients will relapse. Given the prognostic importance of measurable residual disease (MRD), CETLAM-12 considered a pre-emptive intervention in patients with molecular failure (MF). We analyzed 110 ELNfav NPM1 AML patients achieving complete remission (CR) after induction chemotherapy. Two-year cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR), overall survival (OS) and leukaemia-free survival (LFS) were 17%, 81 center dot 5% an…

Abstract Introduction Patients diagnosed with AML with NPM1mutation (NPM1mut AML) included in the European LeukemiaNet favorable genetic risk category (ELNfav, i.e., without FLT3-ITD or with a low allelic burden FLT3-ITD comutation [FLT3-ITD/FLT3wt <0.5; FLT3-ITDLOW]) do not benefit from an allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) in first complete remission (CR1). However, a significant proportion of these patients fail to frontline chemotherapy and require salvage therapy. Persistence or detection of MRD after post-CR treatment is associated with a high relapse risk and worse prognosis. With this background, the cooperative group CETLAM proposed an early therapeutic intervention …
