23
Q

Treatment approach to APL

A

Induction:
* Low/Int Risk = ATRA+ATO / ATRA+Chemo (Dauno)
* High Risk = ATRA+ATO+Gemtuzumab / ATRA+Chemo (7+3)
* Week 4 BM = Cont until blasts < 5%

Consolidation

RQPCR:
Low Risk MRD Negative = FBC q3mo for 2-3yrs
High Risk MRD Negative = Maint Tx if ATRA+Chemo

MRD Positive = Try other induction strategy/HSCT
