A

peripheral blood lymphocyte flow cytometry . . quick and ease

37
Q

A

hairy cell leukemia

38
Q

Rai staging for CLL

A

0: lymphocytosis only
1: + LAD
2: + organomegaly (spleen and liver)
3: +anemia (Hb less than 11)
4: +thrombocytopenia (less than 100k)

0-1: low risk
2: intermediate
3-4: high risk

39
Q

77 year old with CLL asymptomatic . . treat how

A

Observation

40
Q

trisomies associated with ALL

41
Q

What are the monsomies of AML that carry poor prognosis

42
Q

Treatment of AML

A
  • most with combo of anthracycline (daunorubicin or idarubicin)
  • AML patients who are older and not candidates for traditional therapy: 5-azacitidine or decitabine
43
Q

treatment of ALL

A

combo: daunorubicin, vincristine, prednisone, and asparaginase.
- if patient has bcr-abl positivity, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, dasatinib should be added

44
Q

after remission, what should ALL patients receive

A

CNS prophylaxis so that meningeal sequestration of leukemic cells doesn’t develop

45
Q

diagnosis of chronic leukemia

A
  • B cell lymphocytosis>5000
  • Coexpression of CD19, CD5 (only in CLL and mantle cell lymphoma)
  • CLL differentiated from mantle cell lymphoma by expression of CD23 and low expression of surface immunoglobulin and CD20
46
Q

indications for treatment of CLL

A
  • progressive fatigue
  • symptomatic lymphadenopathy
  • anemia
  • thrombocytopenia
47
Q

initial treatment for CLL in under 70 patients

A

-combo of fludarabine plus rituximab with or without cyclophosphamide

48
Q

treatment of older frail patients with CLL that have indications for treatment

A

chlorambucil orally every 3 weeks for 6 months

49
Q

What can be used in patients with relapsed/refractory CLL in those with deletion of 17p

50
Q

Ph chromosome

A

9,22 fusion

51
Q

Treatment of CML

A
  • targeted at bcr abl tyrosine kinase
  • first gen: imatinib
  • 2nd gen: dasatinib and nilotinib
  • pts on TK inhibitors should be monitored with a quantitative PCR assay to check levels of bcr/abl
52
Q

Treatment for Hairy Cell leukemia

A

-IV cladribine daily for 7 days
