High-dose cytarabine induction for acute myeloid leukemia.
In a recent article, Bishop et al’ state that high-dose cytarabine has not previously been used as induction for untreated acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In fact, high-dose cytarabine has been used by itself: with am~acrine,~ and with daunorubicin4 in this role. Additionally, doses of cytarabine significantly above those considered standard had previously been used by other groups for initial in...
متن کاملCombined low-dose cytarabine, melphalan and mitoxantrone for older patients with acute myeloid leukemia or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome.
BACKGROUND Low-dose cytarabine (ara-C) has been used to treat older patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), but has resulted in complete remission for <20% of cases. A pilot study of the efficacy of a combination chemotherapy using low-dose ara-C, melphalan (Mel), and mitoxantrone (Mit) was conducted. PATIENTS AND METHODS The treatment comprised...
متن کاملThe role of microRNA in acute/chronic, myeloid/lymphocytic leukemia
MicroRNAs are small, non-coding sequences that regulate gene expression by inducing degradation or translational inhibition of target mRNAs. These molecules control many intracellular physiological and pathological processes.Abnormal expression of these moleculs has been described in different cancers including hematopoietic cancers. According to the type of cancer and the stage, miRNA’s expres...
متن کاملA randomized study of high-dose cytarabine in induction in acute myeloid leukemia.
High-dose cytarabine (ara-c) may overcome cytarabine resistance in leukemic blasts. It has been used as a successful salvage and in postremission therapy but not as initial induction treatment. Patients aged 15 to 60 years, presenting with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) were randomized to receive either high-dose cytarabine, 3 g/m2 12 hourly on days 1, 3, 5, and 7 for 8 doses, dau...
متن کاملHigh-Dose Cytarabine in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Treatment: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
The optimal dose, scheme, and clinical setting for Ara-C in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) treatment remain uncertain. In this study, we performed a meta-analysis to systematically assess the impact of high-dose cytarabine (HDAC) on AML therapy during the induction and consolidation stages. Twenty-two trials with a total of 5,945 de novo AML patients were included in the meta-analysis. Only patie...
