Leukemia Flashcards
t(15;17)
PML:RARa; M3; APL
t(8;21) or inv(16)
CBF:RUNX1T1; M2; abnl eosinophilia; good prog
favorable prognosis markers: no need for trx
inv(16); t(8;21); t(15;17)
poor prognosis markers, need transplant
del(5q), -5, del(7q), -7, complex, 11q23
11q23
MLL gene: translocation with 11q23 bad
del5q del7q
associated with alkylators, poor prognosis group AML
FLT3 mutation
FLT-internal tandem repeat; poor prognosis ,
CEBPA mutation
favorable prognosis
induction
7+3: 90 dauno + 200 cytarabine x 7 days;
idarubicin
12mg/m2 for 3 days equivalent to 90 dauno
daunorubicin
90x3d = 50x5d
del5q MDS
lenalidomide if low/int-I risk
MDS cytopenia treatment
can use EPO
allotSCT for MDS
recommended for INT-2: cases include: poor karyotype and 5-10 blasts; poor karyotype and 2/3 cytopenias; good karyotype, 2/3 cytopenias and 11-20 blasts; 11-20 blasts;
IPSS
% blasts: 5-10- 0.5; 11-20: 1.5, 21+ 2. karyotype: intermediate 0.5; poor 1; cytopenia: 2/3 gets another 0.5 points.
MDS karyotypes
poor: complex or chromosome 7; good: 5q-, y-, 20q-
CLL karyotyping
13q- good
11- CLL
massive LAD out of proportion
17- CLL
higher richter transformation, resistance; consider up-front transplant
imatinib dosing
400mg/day; higher doses lead to increased cytogenetic CR but no difference in OS, PFS at 24mo
T315I
CML resistance mutation–> dasatinib/nilotinib doesn’t work
nilotinib dosing
400mg BID, higher CR compared to imatinib
