  • Fever, infections (neutropenia)
  • Bleeding (thrombocytopenia)
  • Bone pain (sometimes young children won’t walk or bear weight)
  • Lymphadenopathy
  • Hepatosplenomegaly

25
Q

Simplified risk assessment in B-ALL

A

Philadelphia chromosome in B-ALL is very bad because of the different cell they are present in and cytogenetic context

26
Q

Question 4

A

A. ETV6-RUNX1 is present

this fusion is associated with t(12;21)

27
Q

t(12;21) on a karyotype

A

very difficult to see on karyotype and is called cryptic on karyotype

28
Q

t(12;21)

A

CoreBindingFactorß+RUNX1 is a transcription factor which promotes genes necessary for maturation and differentiation

ETV6-RUNX1 fusion becomes a repressor instead of a Txn factor

29
Q

Question 5

A

B NO

He is on the better risk side

30
Q

Phases of Treatment of ALL

4 listed

A
  • Remission induction - the goal is to induce remission
  • Intensification/Consolidation - the goal is to eradicate disease below levels of detection
  • Maintenance Therapy - the goal is to prevent relapse
  • CNS Treatment
31
Q

Anthracycline main toxicity

A

Cardiac toxicity

32
Q

Only use anthracycline in?

A

Higher risk patients because of cardiac toxicity

33
Q

Treatment of ALL phase timeline

A
  • Remission Induction - 4-6 weeks
  • Intensification/consolidation - 6-9 months
  • Maintenance therapy - 2-3 years
  • CNS Treatment - ALL has high propensity to go to CNS
34
Q

Treatment of ALL Overview

A

Treatment of ALL Overview

35
Q

Treatment of ALL Number and sequence of drugs

A

typically glucocorticoids and chemotherapy

36
Q

Vincristine drug class

A

Vinca Alkaloids

37
Q

Vincristine properties

A
38
Q

Vincristine is metabolized in?

A

The liver so liver function is monitored

39
Q

Vincristine main toxicity

A

peripheral neuropathy - numbness or tingling coldness in hands and feet

40
Q

Vincristine metabolized by?

A

CYP3A4 in the liver

41
Q

Does Vincristine cross the blood-brain barrier?

A

No

42
Q

Vincristine MOA

A

Bind to tubulin and disrupt mitotic spindle and cause metaphase arrest

43
Q

Methotrexate drug class

A

Antimetabolite

Folic acid analog - does not bind to DNA

44
Q

Methotrexate MOA

A
  • Folic acid analog - does not bind to DNA
  • actively transported into cells in direct proportion to growth rates and polyglutamated
  • in high dose can penetrate CNS
45
Q

Methotrexate Toxicities

A
  • Hepatotoxic
  • Neprotoxic
46
Q

Methotrexate Overview

A
47
Q

Mercaptopurine Drug class

A

purine analogs

48
Q

Mercaptopurine MOA

A
  • Does not bind to DNA
  • crosses blood-brain barrier
  • inhibits de novo purine synthesis
49
Q

Q

Mercaptopurine Overview

A
51
Q

A

Pancreatitis

55
Q

Vincristine can cause

A

severe neuropathy that can affect GI motility and lead to constipation/ileus

if patients arent already neutropenic the chemo will make them neutropenic

A
62
Q

8 years later

A

avascular necrosis of hip is side effect of high dose glucocorticoids
