Heme/Onc - Week 1 Review - Part 3 Flashcards
Leukopenia - Definition + 2 Types
WBC < 5,000
Neutropenia
Lymphopenia
Neutropenia - 2 Major Causes + Treatment
Causes
1) Drug Toxicity
2) Severe Gram (-) Sepsis (All neutrophils used up)
Treatment - GM-CSF to boost granulocyte production
Lymphopenia - 4 Major Causes
1) Immunodeficiency
2) High Cortisol
3) Autoimmune (SLE)
4) Radation
Leukocytosis - Defition + Causes (5)
WBC > 10,000
1) Bacterial Infection
2) Monocytosis
3) Eosinophilia
4) Basophilia
5) Lymphocytic Leukocytosis
Bacterial Infection (Key Fact)
Neutrophil release with Left Shift (CD16+ Cells)
Monocytosis - Definition + Causes (2)
Increase in circulating monocytes
Chronic Infection + Cancer
Eosinophilia - Key Causes (3)
1) Type 1 Hypersensitivity Reaction
2) Parasitic Infectio
3) Hodgkin Lymphoma (Increased IL-5)
Basophlia - Key Cause (1)
CML - KEY KEY
Lymphocytic Leukocytosis - Key Causes (3)
1) Viral Infeciton
2) Bordetella Pertussis
Boards Ages for Leukemias (Goljan)
1) 0-14 - ALL
2) 15-39 - AML
3) 40-59 - AML or CML
4) >60 - CLL
Acute Leukemia - Types (2) + Definition + Acute Presentation (4)
AML (Myeloid - CD33+/MPO+) + ALL (Lymphoid - TdT+)
Blast > 20% on Marrow Biopsy - Large on Histology with “Hole Punch” Nucleus
Acute Presentation - Based on Bone Marrow being crowded out and under production
2) Reduced RBCs - Anemia/Fatigue
3) Reduced Platelets - Thrombocytopenia (Bleeding)
4) Reduced Lymphocytes (Neutropenia/Infection)
ALL - Key Feature + Key Population + Classes (2)
TdT Positive - Lymphoblasts
Children (Associated with Down’s Age > 5) + Kids 0-14
B-Cell (TdT + CD10, CD19, CD20)
T-Cell (TdT + CD2-8) - No CD10
B-Cell ALL - Markers + Prognosis + Translocations (2)
Markers - TdT + CD10, CD19, CD20
Prognosis - Great in Kids (responds to chemo)
Translocations
Kids - t(12:21) - Good Prognosis
Adults - t(9:22) - Philadelphia Bcr-Abl - Poor Prognosis (vs. Good in CML)
T-Cell ALL - Markers + Population
Markers - T-Cell (TdT + CD2-8) - No CD10
Teenagers with Thymic Masses
AML - Key Features + Populations + Classes (3)
Myeloblasts - MPO + CD33 + Auer Rods
Adults - Typically 15-39
Classes (3)
M3 - Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia
M5 - Acute Monocytic Leukemia
M7 - Acute Megakaryblastic Leukemia (LACKS MPO!)
Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia - Genetics + Key Information (2)
AML M3
t(15:17) - RAR moves from 17 to 15 - Blocks AML Maturation trigger blast accumulation
High Risk of DIC (Class is Always)
Treat with ARTA (Vitamin A)
Acute Monocytic Leukemia - Keys (2)
AML M5
Monoblast Proliferaiton - Infiltrates Gums
Acute Megakaryoblastic Leukemia - Keys (3)
AML M7
Lacks MPO
Associated with Down’s Syndrome < 5 y/o
Chronic Leukemias - Definition + Types (4)
Mature Cell Leukemia - Lymphocytic (Myeloid = Myeloproliferative Disorders)
1) CLL
2) Hairy Cell Leukemia
3) Adult T-Cell Leukemia
4) Mycosis Fungoides
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia - Definition + Key Markers/Histology
Neoplastic Disease of Naive B-Cells - Tons of non-functional B-Cells
Markers - CD20, CD5, CD23
Histology - Smudge Cells - Look like they were slammed against the slide of the slide)
Lymph Node Form of CLL
Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL) - Same disease with Generalized LAD
