Role of MTHFR (677, 1298) haplotype in the risk of developing secondary leukemia after treatment of breast cancer and hematological malignancies

2007

Therapy-related myelodysplasia and acute myeloid leukemia (t-MDS/AML) is a malignancy occurring after exposure to chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy. Polymorphisms involved in chemotherapy/radiotherapy response genes could be related to an increased risk of developing this neoplasia. We have studied 11 polymorphisms in genes of drug detoxification pathways (NQO1, glutathione S-transferase pi) and DNA repair xeroderma pigmentosum, complementation group (3) (XPC(3), X-ray repair cross complementing protein (1)), Nijmegen breakage syndrome (1), excision repair cross-complementing rodent repair deficiency, complementation group (5) and X-ray repair cross complementing protein (3) and in the methy…

Introduction Since 2009, multiple randomized trials have shown faster and deeper responses in CML patients treated with new-generation TKI (NG-TKI) compared to those treated with imatinib (IM). Are the same results observed in the general population? Materials and methods Patients were identified from the three French hematological malignancies population-based registries. All CML patients (ICD-O-3: 9875/3) diagnosed between 2006 and 2016 and resided in registries areas were included. The TKI generation effect on achievement of MMR in first-line therapy was assessed through a multivariate competitive risk analysis. An alluvial plot described the pathways leading to death. Results In total, …

Survival variations by country and age for lymphoid and myeloid malignancies in Europe 2000–2007: Results of EUROCARE-5 population-based study

2015

BACKGROUND: Significant advances in the management of patients with lymphoid and myeloid malignancies entered clinical practice in the early 2000's. The EUROCARE-5 study database provides an opportunity to assess the impact of these changes at the population level by country in Europe. We provide survival estimates for clinically relevant haematological malignancies (HM), using the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology 3, by country, gender and age in Europe. METHODS: We estimated age-standardised relative survival using the complete cohort approach for 625, 000 adult patients diagnosed in 2000-2007 and followed up to 2008. Survival information was provided by 89 participati…

relapse, or transplant related mortality (TRM) (p1⁄40.2, p1⁄40.1, p1⁄40.08, respectively). To investigate why higher CPSS scores were associated with higher mortality, we performed analysis restricted to patients with relapse following HCT. Those with intermediate-2/high riskhadnearly two-fold increase in riskof death after relapse compared to thosewith low/intermediate1 CPSS scores. Corresponding rates for low/intermediate-1 risk groups,OSat1year, 3years, and5yearswere61%,48%, and44% respectivelyand for intermediate-2/high riskgroupswere 38%, 32%, and19%respectively.OSofpatientswho receivedpre-HCT treatment with hypomethylating agents, chemotherapy, or both was not different compared to th…

Beyond the comfort zone of deep molecular response: discontinuation in major molecular response chronic myeloid leukemia.

2019

Discontinuation of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) therapy is now feasible for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) with deep and longstanding molecular response (MR 4/4.5); around 40–60%...

Real-World Experience of CPX-351 As First-Line Treatment in 188 Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia

2021

Abstract Background In a recent phase-III trial CPX-351 (Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Palo Alto, CA), a liposomal encapsulation of cytarabine and daunorubicin, has shown higher remission rates and longer overall survival (OS) in patients aged 60 to 75 years with AML with myelodysplasia-related changes (AML-MRC) or therapy-related AML (t-AML) in comparison to conventional 7+3 regimen. Based on this CPX-351 has been approved in the USA 2017 and in Europe 2018 for adult patients with newly-diagnosed AML-MRC or t-AML. Still, several issues such as age (<60 years), measurable residual disease (MRD), molecular subgroups and outcome after allo-HCT were not addressed in the phase-III trial. Aiming …

Tumorigenic and metastatic activity of human thyroid cancer stem cells

2010

Abstract Thyroid carcinoma is the most common endocrine malignancy and the first cause of death among endocrine cancers. We show that the tumorigenic capacity in thyroid cancer is confined in a small subpopulation of stem-like cells with high aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDHhigh) activity and unlimited replication potential. ALDHhigh cells can be expanded indefinitely in vitro as tumor spheres, which retain the tumorigenic potential upon delivery in immunocompromised mice. Orthotopic injection of minute numbers of thyroid cancer stem cells recapitulates the behavior of the parental tumor, including the aggressive metastatic features of undifferentiated thyroid carcinomas, which are sustained by…

The prognosis for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia who have clonal cytogenetic abnormalities in philadelphia chromosome-negative cells.

2007

BACKGROUND. Clonal cytogenetic abnormalities (CCA) were detected in Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-negative cells in some patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who attained a cytogenetic response to imatinib mesylate. In some patients, CCA/Ph-negative status was associated with myelodysplasia or acute myeloid leukemia. The objective of the current study was to determine the prognostic impact of CCA/Ph-negative cells. METHODS. The authors compared the pretherapeutic risk factors (Kruskall-Wallis test), exposure to cytotoxic drugs (chi-square test), and overall and progression-free survival (Kaplan-Meyer and logistic regression analysis, respectively) of 515 patients with mostly chronic-…

Analysis of relapse after transplantation in acute leukemia: A comparative on second allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation and donor lymphocy…

2018

Relapse of acute leukemia (AL) after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (Allo-HCT) entails a dismal prognosis. In this scenario, donor lymphocyte infusions (DLIs) and second Allo-HCT are two major approaches. We compared outcomes of AL patients treated for relapse with DLI or second Allo-HCT after receiving debulking therapy. In total, 46 patients were included in the study; 30 (65%) had acute myeloid leukemia and 16 (35%) had acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The median age was 38 years (range 4-66). Twenty-seven patients received a second Allo-HCT and 19 patients received DLI. The median follow-up of the cohort was 273 days (range 9-7013). Overall survival (OS), disease-free surviv…

CD34+ Cell Selection versus Reduced-Intensity Conditioning and Unmodified Grafts for Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation in Patients Age >5…

2018

Reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) and T cell depletion (TCD) through CD34+ cell selection without the use of post-transplantation immunosuppression are 2 strategies used to reduce nonrelapse mortality (NRM) in older patients after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). To compare the efficacy of the RIC and TCD approaches, we evaluated the outcomes of patients age >50 years with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) who underwent allo-HCT from an HLA-matched donor with one of these strategies. Baseline characteristics were comparable in the patients receiving TCD (n = 204) and those receiving RIC (n = 151), except for a higher proportion o…
