Toxic megacolon complicating chemotherapy for acute myeloid leukaemia.
A 43 year old woman in remission from acute myeloid leukaemia developed abdominal pain, severe melaena, diarrhoea and gram-negative septicaemia whilst severely pancytopenic following consolidation chemotherapy. Subsequently, serial abdominal X-rays showed a progressive toxic megacolon. Conservative management was attempted but, because of radiological evidence of increasing colonic dilatation a...
متن کاملDefining and Treating Older Adults with Acute Myeloid Leukemia Who Are Ineligible for Intensive Therapies
Although acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is primarily a disease of older adults (age ≥60 years), the optimal treatment for older adults remains largely undefined. Intensive chemotherapy is rarely beneficial for frail older adults or those with poor-risk disease, but criteria that define fitness and/or appropriateness for intensive chemotherapy remain to be standardized. Evaluation of disease-relat...
متن کاملThe Effect of Monophosphoryl Lipid A on Maturation of DCs from Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia
Background: Generation of monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MDDC) is induced in the presence of GM-CSF and IL-4, and a maturation stimulus is added to the monocyte culture to obtain mature Dendritic Cells (DCs) suitable for therapy. TNF-α is the most common cytokine used for activating DCs and generating mature MDDC either alone or in combination with other cytokines. Objective: To compare effe...
متن کاملPhase II Study of Bortezomib as a Single Agent in Patients with Previously Untreated or Relapsed/Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia Ineligible for Intensive Therapy
We explored the safety and efficacy of bortezomib given as single agent in patients with untreated or relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML), unfit for conventional chemotherapy. Fourteen patients were treated with bortezomib 1.5 mg/m(2) administered twice weekly for two weeks, every 3 weeks. Median age was 70 years (range 60-81) and the median number of cycles delivered was 2 (range ...
متن کاملacute myeloid leukemia (aml): the role of intensive induction chemotherapy
intensive induction therapy-in acute myeloid leukemia (aml), as in some other systemic malignancies- is a strategy fundamentally different from post-remission strategies. approaches like consolidation treatment, prolonged mainte nance, and autologous or allogeneic transplantation in the first remission are directed against minimal residual disease with a malignant cell population having survive...
