ALL Flashcards
what is the primary aim of AALL1331?
evaluating blinatumomab for patients with B ALL at first relapse
What is the translocation TEL-AML1 (ETV6-RUNX1)
t(12;21)(p13;q22)
what is a diagnostic criterion of T cell ALL that can’t be present in B cell?
cytoplasmic CD3
which chemotherapy agent has been implicated in significant toxicity in children with DS ALL?
methotrexate
what is a diagnostic criterion of T cell ALL that can’t be present in B cell?
cytoplasmic CD3
which chemotherapy agent has been implicated in significant toxicity in children with DS ALL?
methotrexate
risk of leukemia in identical twins?
if one twin develops leukemia within the first 5 yrs of life, the second twin has a 20% risk of developing leukemia
immunophenotype AML
MPO, CD117, CD13, CD33
histochemical stains positive in AML
non-specific esterases
MPO
sudan black
immunophenotype AML
MPO, CD117, CD13, CD33
list 5 genetic conditions that predispose to developing leukemia
T21 Bloom Fanconi SDS DBA NF1 ataxia telangectasia SCN
factors important in pathogenesis of leukemia
- ionizing radiation
- chemical exposure
- drugs (ie, alkylators in AML)
- genetics (20% risk of identical twin developing leukemia if other twin develops before 5 yrs of age, sibs have 4x increased risk)
- chromosomal abnormalities (ie T21)

what translocation is found in the majority of burkitt’s lymphoma/leukemia
