Apml tx
All-trans retinoicacid
Note that traditional chemo will cause di c due to release of coagulants in granuleswhen cells die
AML genemutation with worst px

AML m 0
Minimal different-tas
All blasts
No aver rods or granules
AML M1
Some differentiation
All blasts
Aver rods andgranuls
AML m2
More differentiation
Still at least 20% blasts since it’s Am l but more mature cells as well
AML m3
A P M L
AML my
Myelomonocytic
NS E orwright-giesma stain
AML m5
Monoblastic/ monocytic “
Oftenextramedullary eg C N S because of the monocytes
AML m6
Pure erythroid
Also myeloblasts…
AMC m7
Megakaryoblastie
Need flow not just microscopy
Therapies that may cause AML
Chemo-alkylating andtopossomerase 2 inhibitors
Alkylating agents e.g.
Busulfan
Cydophosph amide
Is of amide
Topoisomeraseinhibstorse eg.
E topside
Doxorubicin
TopoisomeraseinhibitorAML
Faster thanaltylatingagents
1-3 year latency
No MDs phase
Chromosome 11 and mll gene
Alkylatingagent AML
5-7 year latency often preceded by MDs,
Chromosomes 5 and 7
MDs
Myelodysplasticsyndrome ‘
Pancytopenia due to take over of dys plasticmydlaid cells in bm
Often evolves toaml
Aggressive tx of MDs
’ Stem cell transplant
Generallyreserved forjounger pts with high risk of conversion
Prussian blue
Stains iron
Ring syderoblasts

Better prognosis
Bone marrow first
Most commonchildhood leukemia

Hydroxyvrea, antimetabolite
Possiblymyelaosuppressive drugs
Reactivethrombocytosis
Various causes
Infection surgery malignancy chronic inflammation post splenectomy blood loss iron deficiency
Essentialthrombocyto sis tx
Low dose aspirin if clotting
Hydroxyureaifhigh risk
Chronic myelufiboosis
Pan-myeloidproliferation
