genetic predisposition
ALL associated genetic syndromes
T21
LFS (hypodiploid)
A-T (T-ALL)
Bloom
FA
Family constitutional deficiencies ETV6 and PAX5
NF1, WAS, DBA, DKC, SDS
ALL familial RF
sibling with ALL, 2-4x
identical twin with ALL

ALL vs AML path/ICH differentiation
AML: MPO, auer rods (50% of AML), CD33, CD13, CD117
ALL: CD19, cytoplasmic CD79a, CD22, CD10, CD22, CD24, PAX5, Tdt, HLA-DR +
T-ALL: CD19 and sIg neg, , cCD3 (diagnostic), CD2/3/4/5/7/8 +
ALL prognostic factors
MRD +
age <1, 10+yo
initial WBC (>50)
cytogenetics
CNS +
testicular
F>M
T21
ALL fav/unfav cytogenetics
favourable
- ETV6-RUNX1 t(12;21) (20%)
- double trisomy 4/10
- hyperdiploid (21%): >2N, DNA index >1.16, >53 chromosomes
Unfavourable
- Ph+ t(9;22) (4%)
- Ph-like
- t17;19
- hypodiploid (<2N, DNA index <0.81, <44 chromosomes)
- iAMP21
- KMT2A (3% but 70%<1yo)
ALL CNS classification
CNS1: no blasts
CNS2:
- <5WBC, cytospin +
- >5WBC, cytospin +, negative w RBC correction
- traumatic LP
CNS3: 5+ blasts and/or clinical signs
Steinherz-Bleyes
+ if (CSF WBC/RBC) > 2x (serum WBC/RBC)
ALL differences in infants
increased KMT2Ar
higher WBC/hyperleukocytosis
more extramedullary disease
poorer prog
CD10 neg typically
ALL COG Risk Stratification
HR: <1/10+yo, WBC >50, MRD+ (>0.01%), unfav cytogenetics
ALL relapse prognostic factors
site (marrow worse than extramedullary)
timing
- very early <18mo
- early 18-36mo
- late >36 mo
Other:
- phenotype (T-ALL marrow worse)
- Primary dx px factors
- MRD
ALL CNS+ RF (upfront and relapse)
upfront: T-ALL, t(1;19), WBC>50, infant
at relapse: T-ALL, high WBC, initial CNS+, traumatic LP at dx, missed LPs
B-ALL relapse risk stratification and Tx (including HSCT indications)
LR: late (>18mo) IEM
- no HSCT
IR: late (>36mo) BM, early (<18mo) IEM
HR: early (<36mo) BM
HSCT for early (<36mo) marrow, early (<18mo) IEM, IR with EOI MRD +
(also for T-ALL relapse)
ALL CNS relapse RT dose
1800 cGy CRT including posterior halves of globes of eyes
ALL CNS-directed therapy
MTX (IT, HD, Capizzi)
Steroid (dex > pred)
asparaginase (functional)
CNS RT
ALL long term sequelae
SMN (2%) - cyclo, RT
peripheral neuropathy - VCR
white matter atrophy
mental helath
neuropsych - MTX, RT, IT
metabolic syndrome/obesity
HTN
relapse
short statue - steroid, TBI
osteopenia - steroid, TBI
cardiotoxicity (1-2%) - anthracyclines
infertility
cataracts - steroid, TBI
