Clinical Retrospective Analysis of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in Myeloid Blast Crisis / 中国实验血液学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To retrospectively analyze the clinical manifestation, laboratorial test features and prognosis of patients with CML in myeloid blast crisis.@*METHODS@#The clinical data of 10 patients with CML in myeloid blast crisis admitted in Chinese PLA General Hospital from June 2011 to May 2018 were collected, and their clinical features, laboratorial data and long-term survival were analyzed.@*RESULTS@#The median age of these 10 cases was 32.5 (23-73) years old. Nine cases had chronic phase history. The median chronic phase was 17(4-84) months. All the 10 cases had splenomegaly; B-ultrasonography showed that the median spleen size was 5.2 (4-7.8) cm in thickness, and 14.6 (11.4-19.8) in length. When chronic myeloid leukemia was in blast crisis, the median WBC count was 41.705（11.9-344.41）×10 /L and the median platelet count was 159 (13-2326) ×10 /L. The Ph+ chromosome and BCR-ABL1 fusion gene coulld be detected in all the cases. The chromosome karyotyping showed that additional chromosome abnormalities were found in 5 cases. One case was of low diploid, and two cases were with complex karyotype. ABL1 mutation was detected in 6 out of these 10 cases. ABL1 T315I mutation was detected in 2 of them and one was with deletion of combined P53 in genetic tests. The median follow-up time was 10.5(0.2-78) months. There were 5 cases treated sequentially by chemotheraphy with or without TKI and allo-HSCT. Three cases reached CP2 before transplantation. Among them, two cases still survived without progression for 67 months and 69 months after the transplantation respectively. One case died of transplantation-related mortality (suffered from cerebral hemorrhage 7 months after the transplantation). Two cases were NR before the transplantation, and both died of disease relapse or progression at the time points of one or three months after the transplantation. Five cases treated by TKI ± chemotheraphy and without HSCT succumbed to disease progression. The median time was 6(0.2-22) months.@*CONCLUSION@#CML patients in myeloid blast crisis treated by chemotheraphy combined with TKI gain CP2, the survival time of patients treated by sequential allo-HSCT is prolonged.
