ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The outcome of childhood acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in first relapse (rAML) remains poor. Reported overall survival (OS) rates vary between high-income developed countries and those with fewer resources. The OS of rAML in high-income developing countries (HIDCs) has not been reported. PATIENTS AND MATERIALS A multicenter study was performed in an HIDC. The outcome of patients with relapsed non-M3/non-Down syndrome AML was evaluated. Three-year OS was computed using the Kaplan-Meier method, and predictors of OS were analyzed using a Cox proportional hazards model.RESULTS:
A total of 88 patients with non-M3/non-Down syndrome AML diagnosed between January 2005 and December 2012 with a first relapse were identified. Their 3-year OS was 22.6% ± 5.4%. Patients with inv(16) and t(8;21) had an OS of 75.0% ± 21.7% and 36.0% ± 16.1%, respectively. Worse outcomes were associated with "other intermediate" and 11q23 rearrangement AML (OS of 9.4% ± 8.7% and 10.7% ± 9.6%, respectively). Patients experiencing time to relapse (TTR) less than 1 year had shorter OS than those with a longer TTR (14.6% ± 5.4% vs. 41.1% ± 11.5%; P = .006). The outcome of patients after stem cell transplantation (SCT) in second complete remission (CR2) was superior compared with no SCT (50.9% ± 11.2% vs. 7.7% ± 4.6%; P = .001). TTR, risk group, CR2, and SCT in CR2 were the most significant predictors for survival.CONCLUSIONS:
rAML remains a clinical challenge. Genetic variability in outcomes was observed. A majority of patients with inv(16) were successfully salvaged post-relapse, whereas patients with 11q23 rearrangement had a poor prognosis. Only one-third of those with t(8;21) rAML survived. Better access to SCT in HIDCs is needed.Palavras-chave
