BRS- Onc Flashcards
Leading cause of death from disease in childhood?
Most common childhood cancer?
Most common solid childhood cancer?
Cancer= leading cause of death from disease
Childhood cancer = ALL
Solid childhood cancer= brain tumors
Two immunodeficiencies that predispose kiddos to cancer
- Wiskott Aldrich: lymphomas & leukemias
- X linked lymphoproliferative disease: EBV –> lymphoma
EBV assc cancer?
HIV assc cancer?
EBV –> Burkitts
HIV –> Kaposci’s
Downs syndrome assc cancers
ALL, AML
Syndrome assc with GI cancers
Blooms syndrome
NF II assc cancer
acoustic neuroma
Two abdominal mass types
Wilms Tumor
Neuroblastoma (crosses midline)
Soft mass on extremities
rhabdomyosarcoma
Early morning H/A + vomiting cause
brain mass
Tumor causing leukocoria
Retinoblastoma
Tumors causing HTN
Neuroblastoma
Wilms tumor
Pheochromocytoma
Peak incidence/ prototype patient with ALL
-white male age 2-6 years
Two classification types for ALL
- cell morphology
- immunophenotype (+/- CALA)
Describe cell morphology types + which is most common in ALL?
L1: small with little cytoplasm
L2: between
L3: large lymphoblasts
*L1 more common
Describe immunophenotypes in ALL + which is most common?
T/B/PreB cell +/- CALLA
Most common Pre B cell + CALLA
What does CALA stand for?
common acute lymphocytic leukemia antigen
Most common ALL symptoms?
fever and bone pain
CBC Findings in ALL
low platelets anemia variable WBC count **CBC does not rule out leukemia **Must confirm with marrow evaluation
Staging for ALL
no staging system
Favorable age, sex, race for ALL prognosis
- 2-9
- female
- Caucasian
Favorable immunophenotype/genetic makeup for ALL:
+CALLA
-t(9,22)
Three stages of ALL management
- induction
- consolidation
- maintenance
What drug is given to all ALL patients in the induction stage of treatment?
intrathecal MTX
What is the consolidation phase of ALL treatment and what is its purpose?
How long is maintenance phase of ALL tx?
intrathecal MTX
cranial irradiation, high risk 5+
prevents CNS involvement
-maintenance up to 3 years
Lab findings assc with tumor lysis syndrome
-^^uric acid, ^^potassium, ^^phospohate (=low Ca)
Three sequelae of tumor lysis syndrome
- tetany
- renal disease
- cardiac disease
Overall ALL survival rate
85%
Four syndromes assc with AML
- Fanconi
- Downs
- Kostmann
- Neurofibromatosis
What are the 7 types of AML
M1: acute myeloblastic, immature M2: acute myeloblastic, mature M3: acute promyelocytic M4: acute myelomonocytic M5: acute monocytic M6: erythroleukemia M7: acute megakaryotic
What are the 4 more common types of AML
M1,2,4,5
Which type of AML is assc with Auer Rods?
assc with Down Syndrome?
Acute promyelocytic (M3)= auer rods Acute megakaryocytic (M7) = Downs
Organ systemic more commonly involved in AML than ALL? Common oral finding in AML?
CNS involvement + gingival hyperplasia common in AML
Which type of AML is most successfully cured?
AML assc with Downs= most responsive
50% cured with chemo; 70% cured with marrow transplant (in general cases)
Least common type of leukemia in kiddos is _____.
Two types are ____ & ______.
CML
Adult type
Juvenile CML
