Relationship between cytogenetics with therapy and prognosis in 124 patients with myelodysplastic syndrome / 白血病·淋巴瘤

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the relationship between cytogenetics with therapy and prognosis in myelodysplastic syndrome.Methods 124 cases of myelodysplastic syndrome from September 2005 to October 2009 were reviewed.124 cases contained 79 males and 45 females,aged 14 to 79 years,median age was 57 years old.26 cases were diagnosed as RA,13 cases as RAS,21 cases as RCMD,29 cases as RAEB-Ⅰ,35 cases as RAEB-Ⅱ.According to the karyotype,124 cases were divided into two groups,79 cases of normal karyotype and 45 cases of abnormal karyotype.Patients were followed up for three years in order to analyze the incidence of myelodysplastic syndrome changed into acute leukemia.Results In 39 patients diagnosed as RA and RAS,32 cases were with normal karyotype and 7 cases (17.9 ％) with abnormal karyotype.15 of 32 cases with normal karyotype achieved hematologic remission after treatment while only 1 of 7 cases with abnormal karyotype achieved remission.1 case with abnormal karyotype changed into acute leukemia after 2 years.In 85 patients diagnosed as RCMD,RAEB-Ⅰ and RAEB-Ⅱ.Difference of the lower incidences of RA and RAS changed into acute leukaemia during 3 years in normal karyotype and abnormal karyotype groups was statistically insignificant (P ＜ 0.05).The incidences of RCMD,RAEB-Ⅰ and RAEB-Ⅱ changed into acute leukemia were higher,especially in the abnormal karyotype group with 42.1 ％.Conclusion Myelodysplastic syndromea with abnormal karyotype is associated with poorer efficacy of therapy,higher incidence of changing into acute leukaemia.The patients can take early allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation to improve the prognosis.
