Rare NUP98::PRRX1 fusion transcript in a therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia associated with del(7q) following chemotherapy for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Cancer Genet 2024; 284-285:12-15. [PMID: 38493578 DOI: 10.1016/j.cancergen.2024.03.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2023] [Revised: 01/02/2024] [Accepted: 03/06/2024] [Indexed: 03/19/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML) is increasingly recognized as a treatment complication in patients receiving chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or immunosuppressive agents for primary neoplasms. NUP98::PRRX1 fusion gene, caused by t(1;11)(q23;p15), is a rare recurrent cytogenetic alteration in leukemia, and only seven cases with NUP98::PRRX1 were reported so far. METHODS A 53-year-old female patient was diagnosed with t-AML after 20 months of complete remission (CR) from diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Conventional karyotype, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and DNA/RNA next-generation sequence (NGS) were used to detect genetic abnormalities. RESULTS Abnormal karyotype of 46, XX, t(1;11)(q25;p15), del(7)(q22) was revealed. NUP98 gene rearrangement and del(7)(q22) were verified by FISH. Further, RNA NGS detected NUP98::PRRX1 fusion transcript, and DNA NGS detected KRAS gene mutation. The patient achieved CR after a combined chemotherapy regimen containing BCL-2 inhibitor and underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), but she died of leukemia recurrence 14 months later. CONCLUSIONS Novel targeted drugs may provide opportunities for patients with NUP98::PRRX1 to undergo allo-HSCT. However, since the cases of carrying the NUP98::PRRX1 are limited, more patients with this genetic change need to be investigated to elucidate the prognostic significance.

Abstract
The nucleophosmin (NPM1) gene encodes for a multifunctional chaperone protein that is localized in the nucleolus but continuously shuttles between the nucleus and cytoplasm. NPM1 mutations occur in about one-third of AML, are AML-specific, usually involve exon 12 and are frequently associated with FLT3-ITD, DNMT3A, TET2, and IDH1/2 mutations. Because of its unique molecular and clinico-pathological features, NPM1-mutated AML is regarded as a distinct leukemia entity in both the International Consensus Classification (ICC) and the 5th edition of the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of myeloid neoplasms. All NPM1 mutations generate leukemic mutants that are aberrantly exported in the cytoplasm of the leukemic cells and are relevant to the pathogenesis of the disease. Here, we focus on recently identified functions of the NPM1 mutant at chromatin level and its relevance in driving HOX/MEIS gene expression. We also discuss yet controversial issues of the ICC/WHO classifications, including the biological and clinical significance of therapy-related NPM1-mutated AML and the relevance of blasts percentage in defining NPM1-mutated AML. Finally, we address the impact of new targeted therapies in NPM1-mutated AML with focus on CAR T cells directed against NPM1/HLA neoepitopes, as well as XPO1 and menin inhibitors.

Abstract
An accurate estimation of AML prognosis is complex since it depends on patient-related factors, AML manifestations at diagnosis, and disease genetics. Furthermore, the depth of response, evaluated using the level of MRD, has been established as a strong prognostic factor in several AML subgroups. In recent years, this rapidly evolving field has made the prognostic evaluation of AML more challenging. Traditional prognostic factors, established in cohorts of patients treated with standard intensive chemotherapy, are becoming less accurate as new effective therapies are emerging. The widespread availability of next-generation sequencing platforms has improved our knowledge of AML biology and, consequently, the recent ELN 2022 recommendations significantly expanded the role of new gene mutations. However, the impact of rare co-mutational patterns remains to be fully disclosed, and large international consortia such as the HARMONY project will hopefully be instrumental to this aim. Moreover, accumulating evidence suggests that clonal architecture plays a significant prognostic role. The integration of clinical, cytogenetic, and molecular factors is essential, but hierarchical methods are reaching their limit. Thus, innovative approaches are being extensively explored, including those based on "knowledge banks". Indeed, more robust prognostic estimations can be obtained by matching each patient's genomic and clinical data with the ones derived from very large cohorts, but further improvements are needed.

Abstract
NPM 1-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) shows unique features. However, the characteristics of "therapy-related" NPM1-mutated AML (t-NPM1 AML) are poorly understood. We compared the genetics, transcriptional profile, and clinical outcomes of t-NPM1 AML, de novo NPM1-mutated AML (dn-NPM1 AML), and therapy-related AML (t-AML) with wild-type NPM1 (t-AML). Normal karyotype was more frequent in t-NPM1 AML (n = 78/96, 88%) and dn-NPM1 (n = 1986/2394, 88%) than in t-AML (n = 103/390, 28%; P < .001). DNMT3A and TET2 were mutated in 43% and 40% of t-NPM1 AML (n = 107), similar to dn-NPM1 (n = 88, 48% and 30%; P > 0.1), but more frequently than t-AML (n = 162; 14% and 10%; P < 0.001). Often mutated in t-AML, TP53 and PPM1D were wild-type in 97% and 96% of t-NPM1 AML, respectively. t-NPM1 and dn-NPM1 AML were transcriptionally similar, (including HOX genes upregulation). At 62 months of median follow-up, the 3-year overall survival (OS) for t-NPM1 AML (n = 96), dn-NPM1 AML (n = 2394), and t-AML (n = 390) were 54%, 60%, and 31%, respectively. In multivariable analysis, OS was similar for the NPM1-mutated groups (hazard ratio [HR] 0.9; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.65-1.25; P = .45), but better in t-NPM1 AML than in t-AML (HR, 1.86; 95% CI, 1.30-2.68; P < .001). Relapse-free survival was similar between t-NPM1 and dn-NPM1 AML (HR, 1.02; 95% CI, 0.72-1.467; P = .90), but significantly higher in t-NPM1 AML versus t-AML (HR, 1.77; 95% CI, 1.19-2.64; P = .0045). t-NPM1 and dn-NPM1 AML have overlapping features, suggesting that they should be classified as a single disease entity.

Abstract
TP53 mutations are less frequent in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) than in solid tumors, except in secondary and therapy-related MDS/AMLs, and in cases with complex monosomal karyotype. As in solid tumors, missense mutations predominate, with the same hotspot mutated codons (particularly codons 175, 248, 273). As TP53-mutated MDS/AMLs are generally associated with complex chromosomal abnormalities, it is not always clear when TP53 mutations occur in the pathophysiological process. It is also uncertain in these MDS/AML cases, which often have inactivation of both TP53 alleles, if the missense mutation is only deleterious through the absence of a functional p53 protein, or through a potential dominant-negative effect, or finally a gain-of-function effect of mutant p53, as demonstrated in some solid tumors. Understanding when TP53 mutations occur in the disease course and how they are deleterious would help to design new treatments for those patients who generally show poor response to all therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (t-MN) are a heterogeneous group of aggressive myeloid neoplasms that arise following exposure to various cytotoxic therapeutic agents and/or ionizing radiation for treatment of prior non-myeloid malignancy or autoimmune disease. Each therapeutic group has been associated with varying latency intervals from the time of therapy exposure to onset of t-MN, as well as certain recurrent genetic alterations. This review will focus on the molecular genetic alterations that have been described in t-MNs, as well as recent updates regarding diagnostic classification.

Abstract
Therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML) comprises 10-20% of all newly diagnosed cases of AML and is related to previous use of chemotherapy or ionizing radiotherapy for an unrelated malignant non-myeloid disorder or autoimmune disease. Classic examples include alkylating agents and topoisomerase II inhibitors, whereas newer targeted therapies such as poly (adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors have emerged as causative agents. Typically, t-AML is characterized by adverse karyotypic abnormalities and molecular lesions that confer a poor prognosis. Nevertheless, there are also cases of t-AML without poor-risk features. The management of these patients remains controversial. We describe the causes and pathophysiology of t-AML, putting emphasis on its mutational heterogeneity, and present recent advances in its treatment including CPX-351, hypomethylating agent plus venetoclax combination, and novel, molecularly targeted agents that promise to improve the cure rates. Evidence supporting personalized medicine for patients with t-AML is presented, as well as the authors' clinical recommendations.

Abstract
Therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (t-MN) account for approximately 10-15% of all myeloid neoplasms and are associated with poor prognosis. Genomic characterization of t-MN to date has been limited in comparison to the considerable sequencing efforts performed for de novo myeloid neoplasms. Until recently, targeted deep sequencing (TDS) or whole exome sequencing (WES) have been the primary technologies utilized and thus limited the ability to explore the landscape of structural variants and mutational signatures. In the past decade, population-level studies have identified clonal hematopoiesis as a risk factor for the development of myeloid neoplasms. However, emerging research on clonal hematopoiesis as a risk factor for developing t-MN is evolving, and much is unknown about the progression of CH to t-MN. In this work, we will review the current knowledge of the genomic landscape of t-MN, discuss background knowledge of clonal hematopoiesis gained from studies of de novo myeloid neoplasms, and examine the recent literature studying the role of therapeutic selection of CH and its evolution under the effects of antineoplastic therapy. Finally, we will discuss the potential implications on current clinical practice and the areas of focus needed for future research into therapy-selected clonal hematopoiesis in myeloid neoplasms.

Abstract
There is a great deal of controversy in the hematologic community regarding the classification of secondary myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDSs). Current classifications are based on the presence of genetic predisposition and MDS post-cytotoxic therapy (MDS-pCT) etiologies. However, since these risk factors are not exclusive for secondary MDSs and there are multiple overlapping scenarios, a comprehensive and definitive classification is yet to come. In addition, a sporadic MDS might arise after a primary tumor fulfills the diagnostic criteria of MDS-pCT without a causative cytotoxicity. In this review, we describe the triggering pieces of a secondary MDS jigsaw: previous cytotoxic therapy, germline predisposition and clonal hematopoiesis. Epidemiological and translational efforts are needed to put these pieces together and ascertain the real weight of each of these pieces in each MDS patient. Future classifications must contribute to understanding the role of secondary MDS jigsaw pieces in different concomitant or independent clinical scenarios associated with the primary tumor.

A Pediatric Case of Treatment-related Myelodysplastic Syndrome While on Therapy for Pre-B Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. J Pediatr Hematol Oncol 2023; 45:e518-e521. [PMID: 36706304 DOI: 10.1097/mph.0000000000002613] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2022] [Accepted: 12/01/2022] [Indexed: 01/29/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Treatment-related myelodysplastic syndrome (t-MDS) is a rare late effect of cancer therapy. After alkylating agents, this typically occurs years after completion of therapy. Treatment of t-MDS in pediatrics is an allogeneic stem cell transplant, however, the prognosis remains poor. OBSERVATIONS This case demonstrates t-MDS developing in a patient receiving treatment for pre-B acute lymphoblastic leukemia. This patient was treated with a combination of hematopoietic stem cell transplant and hypomethylating agents. CONCLUSIONS These agents should be considered for use in patients with t-MDS, before transplant to limit additional chemotherapy and as maintenance therapy post-transplant to reduce the risk of relapse.

Abstract
PURPOSE Therapy-related acute myeloid leukemias (t-AML) are a heterogenous group of aggressive neoplasms that arise following exposure to cytotoxic chemotherapy and/or ionizing radiation. Many therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (t-MN) are associated with distinct chromosomal aberrations and/or TP53 alterations, but little is known about the clinicopathologic and molecular features of normal karyotype t-AML (NK-t-AML) and whether this t-MN subtype is distinctly different from NK de novo AML (NK-dn-AML). METHODS This multi-institutional study by the Bone Marrow Pathology Group retrospectively evaluated clinicopathologic and molecular characteristics of 335 patients with NK-AML, comprising 105 t-AML and 230 dn-AML cases. RESULTS Patients with t-AML compared with dn-AML exhibit significantly shorter overall survival (OS; median months: 17.6 v 44.2; P < .0001) and relapse-free survival (RFS; median months: 9.1 v 19.2; P = .0018). Frequency of NPM1, FLT3, KRAS, and GATA2 mutations were significantly different in NK-t-AML compared with NK-dn-AML (NPM1 35% v 49%; P = .0493; FLT3 23% v 36%; P = 0494; KRAS 12% v 5%; P = .0465; GATA2 9% v 2% P = .0105), while TP53 mutations were rare. Patients with t-AML more often stratified into intermediate or adverse 2017 ELN genetic risk groups. Favorable ELN risk predicted favorable OS (hazard ratio [HR], 0.4056; 95% CI, 0 to 0.866; P = .020) and RFS (HR, 0.355; 95% CI, 0 to 0.746; P = .006). Among all patients with NK-AML, stem-cell transplant and favorable ELN risk both significantly affected RFS, while therapy-relatedness and age had a borderline significant impact on OS (HR, 1.355; 95% CI, 0.975 to 1.882; P = .070). CONCLUSION To our knowledge, this is the largest study to date to comprehensively evaluate NK-t-AML and provides a framework that may inform our understanding of NK-t-AML disease biology and could potentially help guide therapeutic management and improved disease classification in t-MNs that lack cytogenetic aberrations.

Abstract
PURPOSE To provide insights into the diagnosis and management of therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (t-MN) following PARP inhibitors (PARPi). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN In a French cancer center, we identified and described the profiles of 13 t-MN diagnosed among 37 patients with ovarian cancer referred to hematology consultation for cytopenia under PARPi. Next, we described these 13 t-MN post-PARPi among 37 t-MN post ovarian cancer according to PARPi exposure. Finally, we described 69 t-MN post-PARPi in a national cohort. RESULTS From 2016 to 2021, cumulative incidence of t-MN was 3.5% (13/373) among patients with ovarian cancer treated with PARPi. At time of hematologic consultation, patients with t-MN had a longer PARPi exposure (9 vs. 3 months, P = 0.01), lower platelet count (74 vs. 173 G/L, P = 0.0005), and more cytopenias (2 vs. 1, P = 0.0005). Compared with t-MN not exposed to PARPi, patients with t-MN-PARPi had more BRCA1/2 germline mutation (61.5% vs. 0%, P = 0.03) but similar overall survival (OS). In the national cohort, most t-MN post-PARPi had a complex karyotype (61%) associated with a high rate of TP53 mutation (71%). Median OS was 9.6 months (interquartile range, 4-14.6). In multivariate analysis, a longer time between end of PARPi and t-MN (HR, 1.046; P = 0.02), olaparib compared with other PARPi (HR, 5.82; P = 0.003) and acute myeloid leukemia (HR, 2.485; P = 0.01) were associated with shorter OS. CONCLUSIONS In a large series, we described a high incidence of t-MN post-PARPi associated with unfavorable cytogenetic and molecular abnormalities leading to poor OS. Early detection is crucial, particularly in cases of delayed cytopenia.

Abstract
There is a growing body of evidence that therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (t-MNs) with driver gene mutations arise in the background of clonal hematopoiesis (CH) under the positive selective pressure of chemo- and radiation therapies. Uncovering the exposure relationships that provide selective advantage to specific CH mutations is critical to understanding the pathogenesis and etiology of t-MNs. In a systematic analysis of 416 patients with t-MN and detailed prior exposure history, we found that TP53 mutations were significantly associated with prior treatment with thalidomide analogs, specifically lenalidomide. We demonstrated experimentally that lenalidomide treatment provides a selective advantage to Trp53-mutant hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) in vitro and in vivo, the effect of which was specific to Trp53-mutant HSPCs and was not observed in HSPCs with other CH mutations. Because of the differences in CK1α degradation, pomalidomide treatment did not provide an equivalent level of selective advantage to Trp53-mutant HSPCs, providing a biological rationale for its use in patients at high risk for t-MN. These findings highlight the role of lenalidomide treatment in promoting TP53-mutated t-MNs and offer a potential alternative strategy to mitigate the risk of t-MN development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although a considerable proportion of patients with cancer receive chemotherapy (CT) or radiotherapy (RT), only a very few patients eventually develop therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (t-MNs). METHODS To identify subsets of cancer patients who have substantially elevated risk of developing t-MNs. Incidences and risks of t-MNs after contemporary CT or RT in patients newly diagnosed major cancers during 2009-2013 were analyzed. By merging two Korean nationwide health care big data sets, patients were selected and observed on follow-up to until t-MN development or December 2019. RESULTS Among 250,155 patients, 555 (0.22%) were diagnosed with t-MNs with a standard incidence ratio (SIR) of 3.40 (95% CI, 3.13-3.70). Patients had bone/joint cancers (SIR, 94.25; 95% CI, 50.71-137.80) and a remarkably high SIR for t-MN development. Patients receiving both CT and RT had the highest SIR (4.64; 95% CI, 4.08-5.20), followed by those receiving CT only (SIR, 3.30; 95% CI, 2.89-3.70). Contrarily, RT alone did not increase t-MN risk (SIR, 1.16; 95% CI, 0.76-1.56). More exposure to leukemogenic agents resulted in the higher t-MNs development. CONCLUSIONS The increased risk of developing acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome after CT and/or RT was confirmed and subsets with substantially elevated risk for developing t-MNs were found. Such patients would be suitable for a prospective cohort for investigating t-MN pathogenesis by time series analyses.

Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a hematologic malignancy that most frequently develops in older adults. Overall, AML is associated with a high mortality although advancements in genetic risk stratification and new treatments are leading to improvements in outcomes for some subgroups. In this review, we discuss an individualized approach to intensive therapy with a focus on the role of recently approved novel therapies as well as the selection of post-remission therapies for patients in first remission. We discuss the management of patients with relapsed and refractory AML, including the role of targeted treatment and allogeneic stem cell transplant. Next, we review non-intensive treatment for older and unfit AML patients including the use of azacitidine and venetoclax. Finally, we discuss the integration of palliative care in the management of patients with AML.

Abstract
Advances in medicine have improved outcomes in children diagnosed with cancer, with overall 5-year survival rates for these children now exceeding 80%. Two-thirds of childhood cancer survivors have at least one late effect of cancer therapy, with one-third having serious or even life-threatening effects. One of the most serious late effects is a development of subsequent malignant neoplasms (histologically different cancers, which appear after the treatment for primary cancer), which occur in about 3-10% of survivors and are associated with high mortality. In cancers with a very good prognosis, subsequent malignant neoplasms significantly affect long-term survival. Therefore, there is an effort to reduce particularly hazardous treatments. This review discusses the importance of individual factors (gender, genetic factors, cytostatic drugs, radiotherapy) in the development of subsequent malignant neoplasms and the possibilities of their prediction and prevention in the future.

Molecular Landscape of Therapy-related Myeloid Neoplasms in Patients Previously Treated for Gynecologic and Breast Cancers. Hemasphere 2021; 5:e632.

Abstract
Definition of therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (TRMN) is only based on clinical history of exposure to leukemogenic therapy. No specific molecular classification combining therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia and therapy-related myelodysplastic syndromes has been proposed. We aimed to describe the molecular landscape of TRMN at diagnosis, among 77 patients with previous gynecologic and breast cancer with a dedicated next-generation sequencing panel covering 74 genes. We investigated the impact of clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential-associated mutations (CHIP-AMs defined as presence at TRMN stage of mutations described in CHIP with a frequency >1%) on overall survival (OS) and the clinical relevance of a modified genetic ontogeny-based classifier that categorized patients in 3 subgroups. The most frequently mutated genes were TP53 (31%), DNMT3A (19%), IDH1/2 (13%), NRAS (13%), TET2 (12%), NPM1 (10%), PPM1D (9%), and PTPN11 (9%). CHIP-AMs were detected in 66% of TRMN patients, with no impact on OS. Yet, patients with CHIP-AM were older and had a longer time interval between solid tumor diagnosis and TRMN. According to our modified ontogeny-based classifier, we observed that the patients with TP53 or PPM1D mutations had more treatment lines and complex karyotypes, the “MDS-like” patients were older with more gene mutations, while patients with “De novo/pan-AML” mutations were younger with more balanced chromosomal translocations. Median OS within each subgroup was 7.5, 14.5, and 25.2 months, respectively, with statistically significant difference in multivariate analysis. These results support the integration of cytogenetic and molecular markers into the future TRMN classification to reflect the biological diversity of TRMN and its impact on outcomes.

Abstract
Therapy-related myeloid neoplasms are a life-threatening and often fatal complication, associated with poor prognosis outcomes and with high-risk unfavorable cytogenetic abnormalities including complex karyotype. They occur after the treatment of primary malignancies using chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. Such therapy is not specific to cancer cells, and also damages the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of normal cells, resulting in unbalanced and balanced translocations. There are eight genetic pathways, whose details are summarized in this review, depending on the cytogenetic abnormalities induced. This abnormality is the major contributor to the development of therapy-related myeloid neoplasms. The etiology of these neoplasms depends on the complex interaction between the nature and dose of the cytotoxic agent, the environment, and the presence of subsequent inherited mutations. This review aims to elaborate upon recent knowledge regarding the etiology, pathogenesis, and genetic pathways of therapy-related myeloid neoplasms. A deeper understanding of their etiology would aid physicians in more careful monitoring of patients during or after cytotoxic therapy for hematological malignancy. Ultimately, this knowledge could influence initial treatment strategies, with the aim of reducing both the incidence and serious complications of neoplasms. Therefore, early detection of DNA lesions is vital. The authors recommend that primary malignancy be treated with targeted therapy.

Abstract
Les leucémies liées à des traitements anticancéreux, radio- ou chimiothérapies sont des maladies rares, mais redoutables. De nombreux défis attendent chacun des intervenants à chaque étape de ces prises en charge. Notamment, les soignants pourront éprouver la culpabilité liée à la possible causalité avec les traitements antérieurs et les difficultés d'une information appropriée dans un contexte d'incertitude. Pour les personnes malades et les proches, la difficulté légitime face à une maladie inattendue vécue comme une double peine, l'inquiétude d'être porteur d'un terrain génétique à risque, les interrogations sur la causalité pouvant impacter avec la relation médecin–patient et, parfois paradoxalement, une plus grande adaptation que lors du premier cancer. Ces maladies nécessitent des traitements urgents et souvent intensifs, qui ne peuvent parfois être conduits de façon optimale, justement, du fait des thérapeutiques antérieurement reçues. Cependant, les évolutions actuelles tant sur le plan de la compréhension que des possibilités de se prémunir de ces maladies, et sur l'amélioration des conditions de traitements, ouvrent des perspectives jusqu'ici inespérées.

How I treat myelodysplastic syndromes of childhood. Blood 2018; 131:1406-1414.

Abstract
Pediatric myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs) are a heterogeneous group of clonal disorders with an annual incidence of 1 to 4 cases per million, accounting for less than 5% of childhood hematologic malignancies. MDSs in children often occur in the context of inherited bone marrow failure syndromes, which represent a peculiarity of myelodysplasia diagnosed in pediatric patients. Moreover, germ line syndromes predisposing individuals to develop MDS or acute myeloid leukemia have recently been identified, such as those caused by mutations in GATA2, ETV6, SRP72, and SAMD9/SAMD9-L Refractory cytopenia of childhood (RCC) is the most frequent pediatric MDS variant, and it has specific histopathologic features. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the treatment of choice for many children with MDSs and is routinely offered to all patients with MDS with excess of blasts, to those with MDS secondary to previously administered chemoradiotherapy, and to those with RCC associated with monosomy 7, complex karyotype, severe neutropenia, or transfusion dependence. Immune-suppressive therapy may be a treatment option for RCC patients with hypocellular bone marrow and the absence of monosomy 7 or a complex karyotype, although the response rate is lower than that observed in severe aplastic anemia, and a relevant proportion of these patients will subsequently need HSCT for either nonresponse or relapse.
