HEME-CA Flashcards
What has acute onset, cell type *immature, survival FATAL if untreated, Tx w/ Aggressive Chemo?
Acute Leukemia-maligant WBC in bone marrow and blood.
2/2- bone marrow failulre: Anemia, neutropenia, low platelet
AML- myeloid stem cell- WBC
ALL- Lymphod cell T.B
What has acute gradual, cell type *mature, survival LONG, Tx w/ ObservedChemo?
Chronic Leukemia
2/2- liver spleen, lymph nodes, meninges brain or skin
What are seen on smears that DX. AML?
Myeloblast Auer rods- pink rod like structure in cystomplasm+ large nucleus
Mr. Heme has hgb <8, thrompcytopenia 15K, coagulation. LABS WBC 60K, His gums are hypertrophy, petechia over arms, with CNS neurological deficits? What is TX
Acute Myeloid Leukemia-MC in adults
Supportive care w/ transfusions
Chemotherapy
Stem cell transplant
What are the odds with AML if <60yo?
- Higher remission rates and more cures
- Better tolerance of therapy
- More options for therapy if AML relapses
What is ideal goal to DX cancer early?
cytogentics, FH, Social, Health status- Help determin who and kind of therapy
Children at 3-7yo is MC in what type of leukemia?
Acute Lymphoblastic leukemia- 80% acute, 2nd rise after 40
What would be seen on work up for ALL?
- DEC or INC WBC
- Peripheral blast with small cytoplasm, faint nucleus
- Elevated LDH, uric acid
- Bone marrow blast present
- Lumbar puncture
- CXR enlarged mediastinal mass (thymus-T/Bcell)
These indicate what in ALL?
o Profound anemia (pallor, lethargy, dyspnea)
o Neutropenia (fever, malaise, infxns of mouth, throat,)
o Thrombocytopenia (bruising, bleeding gums)
CP Signs of ALL Bone marrow failure
What are signs of infiltrated organs in ALL with children?
o Tender bones, LAD, HSM in 20% of pts
o CNS involvement in 6%-CSF
Fever, night sweats
What cell is detected up to 12mo after infusions, genetically modified from Pts cells that Binds to B cell?
CD19-targeting CAR T cells (CTL019)
What is typical presenation for a Pt w/ presence of Philadelphia Chromosome?
Chronic Myeloid Leukemia-
1. **Wt loss, nt sweats, fatigue-hypermetabolism 2. Male 40-60y any age 3. NORMOCYTIC anemia 4. Splenomegaly 5. Incidental finding from CBC- ** WBC >50-150, H/H <10.2, **Platelet >550K-bruising, epistaxis, 6. Platelet varies. 7. Smear Diff stages of mature cells. 8. incidental finding from 2/2 abdominal pain-splenomegaly 9. Bone marrow INC cells vs stroma
What does the PH chromosome result in d/t Tyrosin Kinase activation?
- Stem cell disorder
- Characterized by myeloproliferation
- Well-described clinical course- Majority will have rapid sustained response w/ any drug
This chemo agent inhibits Tyrosine Kinase for CML tX?
Imatinib
What is necessary to biopsy to determine progression from CML and tx in 6m?
Bone marrow
What should be considered if Pt who has 60% mature lymphocytes, WBC 17k, smear show *smudge cells, HgB low, and platelet low, with adenopathy?
B Cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia- MC
60-80yo West.
What is the etiology of B cell CLL?
Cells accumulate in blood, bone marrow, liver, spleen and lymph nodes as a result of prolonged lifespan and impaired apoptosis. Old damaged lymphocytes and Low hypogammaglobuin
B/c B cell CLL is rare, and benign what is TX?
Doen’t cause much issues. IF SX: Chemotherapy, Monoclonal, FCR
Pt PMH of multiple infx, anemia, and splenomegaly W/O lynphadenopathy. But blood smear shows “hair cell’ TRAP+?
Hairy cell Leukemia
TX- high success, rare relapse
Pt c/o sore throat for 4w, night sweats, fever, fatigue. Mass noted on neck exam. Biopsy reveals B Cell lymphoma? DX
Non- Hogkins Lymphoma
