Clinical Lessons to Be Learned from Patients Developing Chronic Myeloid Leukemia While on Immunosuppressive Therapy after Solid Organ Transplantation: Yet Another Case after Orthotopic Heart Transplantation
Chronic myeloid leukemia developing after transplantation of solid organs and concomitant immunosuppression is a rare but still significant clinical phenomenon. We here describe an additional case of a 62-year-old male patient developing CML after orthotopic heart transplantation and medication with cyclosporine A, mofetil-mycophenolate, and steroids. Initial antileukemic therapy was imatinib a...

Therapy-related myeloid neoplasm (t-MN) is a subtype of acute myeloid leukemia with adverse cytogenetics and poor overall prognosis despite intensive induction chemotherapy and allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). It is increasingly recognized as a late complication of chronic immunosuppression in patients who have received solid organ transplantation. In this paper, we des...

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) rarely develops following organ transplantation. Chronic immunosuppressive therapy is believed to be responsible for secondary malignancies, mainly the tumors of the lymphoid tissue and skin neoplasms.1-3 The known mechanisms involved in the development of secondary malignancies include decreased immunosurveillance due to chronic immunosuppression and direct tumor...
