Leukemia Flashcards
which can manifest clinically over weeks to months
- AML - ALL
median age of diagnosis for CLL
- 72
acute DIC and coagulopathy most commonly seen in
- APL
ALL most commonly of which cell line
- B cell
CD 19 and early 20s are which cell?
- B cell
clinical manifestation of ALL
- tumor lysis syndrome - lymph node involvement - mediastinal mass - CNS involvement - testicular involvement in males
stage 4 of Rai classification
- lymphocytosis - thrombocytopenia
treatment related AML mostly due to
- radiation therapy - chemo
morphology of the cells in CML
- heterogenous
prognosis of high white blood count in ALL (good/bad)
- bad
risk factors for ALL
- prior radiation - prior chemo - familial syndromes
what kind of disorder is CML classified as
- myeloproliferative
median survival of stage 2
- 6 years
lab findings for CLL
- leukocytosis - lymphocytosis - hypogammaglobulinemia - smudge cells
leukemias have what kind of involvement
- significant peripheral blood and bone marrow involvement
CD 13 is which cell?
- granulocyte
treatment of APL
- all-trans retinoic acid (ALTRA) - induction chemo
which chromosome is the Philadelphia chromosome?
- t(9;22) - 22 BCR/ABL is Ph
prognosis of (4;11) in what condition?
What is the prognosis?
- ALL
- poor
morphology of cells in ALL
- homogenous lymphoblasts
which cell line of ALL has the worst prognosis
- T cell
what test do you do after CML is identified?
- quantitative PCR for the bcr/abl transcript
importance of malignant cells in chronic phase of CML
- maintain ability to differentiate
stage 0 of Rai classification
- lymphocytosis only
bone marrow aspirate for ALL
- large cells - open chromatin - prominent nucleoli
prognosis of t(12;21) in ALL (good/bad)
- good
JUST THINK THAT 12;21 IS HAPPY NUMBER BECAUSE IT GOES THE SAME WAY FORWARDS AS BACKWARDS
prognosis of hyperdiploidy in ALL (good/bad)
- good
Abl tyrosine kinase inhibitor of choice
- imatinib
blast crisis can lead to
- AML - ALL
which is the most common adult leukemia
- CLL
prognosis of >10 years of age in ALL (good/bad)
- bad
forward scatter in flow cytometry separates based on
- size
bone marrow aspirate of CLL
- variable involvement - loss of heterogeneity
t(15;17) in cytogenetics with AML (good/bad)
- good
typical pattern on flow cytometry for CLL
- mature B cell phenotype with CD5 and CD23 - light chain restricted
AML is a malignancy of
- committed myeloid progenitor cell
treatment of CLL
- not a curable diseases - treat only if symptoms present
prognosis of hypodiploidy in ALL (good/bad)
- bad
common lab finding of CML
- leukocytosis - neutrophilia - basophilia - eosinophilia
pathogenesis of CML
- Philadelphia chromosome
