ABSTRACT
We report the clinical outcomes of 83 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (median age, 46 years; range, 18-75 years) treated at our institution between 1999 and 2011. Treatment refers to clinical trials open for accrual at the time of diagnosis or to institutional guidelines. Upfront allografting was considered for younger high-risk patients. Seventy-eight of 83 (94%) patients achieved complete remission after induction, although 53% of them eventually relapsed. Forty of 70 patients younger than 61 years underwent allografting. The median follow-up was 7.4 years (range, 0.2-15.0 years). Overall, the 5-year overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) were 40% and 39%, respectively. In patients undergoing transplantation, OS and EFS at 5 years were both 53%, whereas in a nontransplantation setting, both OS and EFS were 35% at 5 years (P = .044 for both OS and EFS). By multivariate analysis, the independent predictors of OS and EFS were age and leukocytosis in the overall population and allografting in young patients.
