Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia: All-Trans-Retinoic Acid Era
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is highly curable with the combination of all retinoic acid (ATRA) and anthracycline based chemotherapy, but the percentage of early deaths remains high. In the present study, we report the clinical, immunophenotypi molecular characteristics and outcome of APL patients diagnosed and treated in various Hospitals of Greece and Cyprus. We describe the data of nin...
متن کاملSweet’s syndrome during the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia with all-trans retinoic acid
All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is the standard induction treatment for acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). Quite many ATRA-related side effects, including retinoic acid syndrome, were reported. So far, it has rarely been reported that Sweet's syndrome, characterized by fever, neutrophilia, painful erythematous cutaneous plaques, dense dermal infiltrates of mature neutrophils and rapid response ...
متن کاملMassive ascites associated with all-trans retinoic acid treatment in therapy-related acute promyelocytic leukemia.
A 77-year-old man who developed pancytopenia was administered granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) by another doctor, and referred to us for the evaluation of pancytopenia. He had hepatocellular carcinoma and was treated with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) containg epirubicin (total dose: 300 mg over the last two years). Bone marrow aspiration smear demonstrated hyperc...
متن کاملThe role of all-trans-retinoic acid in the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia.
All-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) has demonstrated in vivo and in vitro that it could differentiate leukemic cells in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). ATRA yields complete remission (CR) rates of approximately 90% in newly diagnosed and first relapsing APL, in APL resistant to one or two courses of chemotherapy, whereas patients in second and subsequent remissions often have only partial remiss...
متن کاملUse of all-trans retinoic acid in the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia.
Twenty-four patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) were treated with all-trans retinoic acid (45 to 100 mg/m2/day). Of these, eight cases had been either nonresponsive or resistant to previous chemotherapy; the other 16 cases were previously untreated. All patients attained complete remission without developing bone marrow hypoplasia. Bone marrow suspension cultures were studied in 15...
