Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a common, challenging hematologic malignancy worldwide. Thai data on its characteristics and outcomes have never been systematically reported, to our knowledge. The objective of this study was to determine the clinical features and outcomes of Thai patients with AML. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a prospective observational study of nine academic hospitals. Patients with newly diagnosed AML were invited to register online. RESULTS A total of 679 patients with AML were included. The presence of circulating peripheral blood blasts was correlated with a high white blood cell count. Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) had predominantly lower white blood cell counts and higher proportions without peripheral blood blasts compared with non-APL AML. Disseminated intravascular coagulation was commonly presented in APL (37.7%). Splenomegaly and normal platelet count were more frequently seen in patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive AML. The median follow-up time for those who survived more than 1 year was 28.0 months. One-year overall survival rates for non-APL AML and APL were 31.9% and 88.2%, respectively; 2-year overall survival rates were 29.6% and 88.2%, respectively. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation could improve survival in non-APL AML. CONCLUSION APL should be considered despite absence of peripheral blood blast. This study demonstrates poor outcome of Thai AML and more research to improve outcomes are underway. Expanding access to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation should be considered in Thailand.

Abstract
Background & Objective Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) with t(15;17)(q22;q12) is a relatively common subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Here, our objective was to ascertain the survival of patients with this leukemia in north-east of Iran. Methods Survival rates of 42 APL patients with t(15;17)(q22;q12) were assessed. Clinical information was obtained from archived medical records. Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS 18 software using log-ranked test and Kaplan Maier survival analysis. Results Females and males comprised 49% and 51%, respectively. The mean age at diagnosis was 34.3 ± 14.1 years old. During the study period, 17 demises occurred in males, while this number was 7 in females. The mean survival of patients (month) was 23.22 ± 3.57 (95% CI: 16.21 ± 30.2). The five-year survival rate obtained 30%. Regarding demographic and clinical features, the highest rates of 5-year survival were recorded in patients with 20-35 years old (47.6%), males (51%), white blood cell count <10 × 10 9 /l (48%), and platelet count >140 × 10 9 /l (100%). Conclusion Younger age, lower WBC count and higher platelet count were significantly associated with longer survival in AML patients with t(15;17)(q22; q12).

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation may alleviate the negative prognostic impact of monosomal and complex karyotypes on patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Biol Blood Marrow Transplant 2014; 20:690-5. [PMID: 24492143 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2014.01.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2013] [Accepted: 01/27/2014] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Monosomal karyotype (MK) and complex karyotype (CK) are well known to be associated with a very poor clinical outcome in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, whether or not the prognostic impact of MK and CK remains relevant for patients who have undergone allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is still unclear. We retrospectively analyzed the status of MK and CK, as well as other clinical laboratory features, in 148 allo-HCT AML patients at our institution and correlated with their event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) after transplantation. MK and CK were identified in 14 (9%) and 19 (13%) cases, respectively. On univariate analysis, only age (≥60 years) and WBC count (≥15 × 10(9)/L) were significant adverse predictors for EFS (P < .001 and P = .017, respectively) and OS (P = .002 and P = .021, respectively). MK, CK, and other relevant parameters analyzed did not affect the clinical outcome. Multivariable analysis confirmed that both older age and high WBC count were independent prognostic factors for a shorter OS (P = .001 and P = .003, respectively) and a shorter EFS (P < .001 and P = .001, respectively). Our results indicate that neither MK nor CK are high-risk factors in AML patients undergoing allo-HCT.
