Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) accounts for 15% of adult leukemias. In 2007, an estimated 4500 cases will be diagnosed and 900 patients will die of the disease. The goal of CML therapy is complete remission, which typically progresses from hematologic to cytogenetic remission. These updated 2007 guidelines include changes to several treatment recommendations, including considerations for imatinib dosing, the use of interferon, and management of dasatinib toxicity. Recommendations for hematopoetic stem cell transplantation have also been updated. For the most recent version of the guidelines, please visit NCCN.org

Abstract HLA-mismatched stem cell microtransplantation is a new transplantation which has been reported in recent years. We treated 41 patients with intermediate- or high-risk acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) in first complete remission (CR1) undergoing HLA-mismatched stem cell microtransplantation and compared with 56 patients undergoing HLA-matched sibling donor (MSD) transplantation at the same period in our center from July 2012 to August 2015. The estimated leukemia-free survival (LFS) at 2-year was 65.6% ± 9.5% in the MSD group and 27.6% ± 14.0% in the microtransplantation group (P = 0.011). The estimated overall survival (OS) at 2-year was 73.6% ± 8.6% in the MSD group and 46.2% ± 15.6% in the microtransplantation group (P = 0.056). The cumulative incidences of relapse were 22.5% and 58.7% among MSD and microtransplantation groups (P = 0.011). The cumulative incidence of nonrelapse mortality was 7.8% in MSD group, and no nonrelapse mortality in microtransplantation group (P = 0.265). Hematopoietic recovery time was shorter in the microtransplantation group than MSD group (P < 0.05). The infection rate of MSD group was higher than in the microtransplantation group (91.1% vs 75.6%, P = 0.037). The preliminary results suggest that LFS of microtransplantation is inferior to MSD transplantation and a trend toward the OS of microtransplantation was lower than MSD transplantation for intermediate- or high-risk AML in CR1. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Abstract Ninety-nine consecutive patients with acute leukemia in first complete remission under age 50 (median age 27 years; age range 1 to 47 years) with a histocompatible sibling donor were treated with fractionated total body irradiation (1,320 cGy) and high-dose etoposide (60 mg/kg) followed by allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. Sixty-one patients were diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), 34 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), 3 patients with biphenotypic acute leukemia, and 1 patient with acute undifferentiated leukemia. Thirty of the 34 patients with ALL had at least one of the following high-risk factors: age greater than 30, white blood cell count at presentation > 25,000/microL, extramedullary disease, certain chromosomal translocations, or the need for greater than 4 weeks of induction chemotherapy to achieve first complete remission. Cumulative probabilities of disease-free survival and relapse at 3 years were 61% and 12%, respectively, for the 61 patients with AML and 64% and 12%, respectively, for the 34 patients with ALL. By stepwise Cox regression analysis, significant prognostic variables for patients with acute myelogenous leukemia were the presence of acute graft-versus-host disease and increasing age, whereas for patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, significant variables were age and the development of cytomegalovirus-associated interstitial pneumonia. Complications related to graft-versus-host disease and relapse of leukemia were the major causes of death.
