Leukemia
Is a malignant hematologic disorder
characterized by a proliferation of abnormal
white cells that infiltrate the bone marrow,
peripheral blood & organs
4 main types of leukemia
Acute or chronic
Myelogenous or Lymphocytic

Acute Leukemia
AML
normal
A hematologic urgency
Usually fatal within weeks to months
without chemotherapy
With treatment, high mortality due to
disease or treatment-related complications
(unlike childhood acute leukemia)
Notify Hematologist promptly if acute
leukemia is suspected
AML
Mainly adults
M>F
Curable in minority
of adults
Classification of AML

Clinical manifestations
Symptoms due to :
1. Marrow failure
2. Tissue infiltration
3. Leukostasis
4. Constitutional symptoms
5. Other (DIC) L.Promielositik & L.Monositik
1. Marrow failure
2. Infiltration of tissues/organs

Can also have involvement of lymph nodes,

3. Leukostasis
4. Constitutional symptoms
Laboratory features
normal or low
Blasts in peripheral blood
Normocytic anemia
Thrombocytopenia
Neutropenia
DIC

ALL
Light microscopy
AML : Auer rods, cytoplasmic granules
ALL : no Auer rods or granules.
Flow cytometry
Special stains (cytochemistry)
Choice of Rx is influenced by :
1. Type (AML vs ALL)
2. Age
3. Curative vs palliative intent
Principles of treatment
1. Combination chemotherapy
First goal is complete remission
Further Rx to prevent relapse
Combination Daunorubicin + Cytarabin
3. Psychosocial support
Patient & family
induction
intensification
CNS prophylaxis
maintenance
Post-remission therapy
Prognosis
Definition of CML :
Is a clonal disorder of a pluripotent
stem cell and is classified as one of the
myeloproliferative disorder.
Constitute six different types of leukemia.
The disease accounts for around 15% of
leukemia.
name
(CML,Ph-)
Juvenile CML
Esinophilic leukemia
Philadelphia chromosome :
Fig
44
Clinical Presentation:
Cont:
Bruising ,epistaxis,menorrhagia or
hemorrhage from any site because of
platelet dysfunction.
Organ infiltration:
Splenomegally almost always present and
is frequently massive.
Rare symptoms include visual disturbance.
Investigation:
CBC:
Wbc is usually >50X10/l & some times
>500X10/l.
Normocytic normochromic anemia.
Platelets .
Cont:
invariably low.
BM: is hyper cellular with granulopoietic
predominance.
Cytogenetics: ph chromosome.
Serum vitamin B12 & vitamin b12-binding
capacity are.
Serum uric acid is usually.
Phases of CML:
1. Chronic phase :
2. Accelerated phase:
3. Blast phase:
Treatment:
Chemotherapy:
Tyrosine kinase inhibitor:
Interferon-.
Stem cell transplant.
Clinical presentation:
before 40 yrs.
M:F is 2:1.
Many cases discover routinely.
Symmetrical enlargement of superficial
lymph node is the most frequent clinical
sign.
Feature of anemia.

Cont:
Investigation:
CBC:
Wbc:.
Diff:lymphocytosis ,the absolute lymphocyte
count is>5x109/l and may be up to 300x109/l
or.More.
Anemia : normocytic normochromic anemia
is present in later stages, autoimmune
haemolysis.
Platelets : thrombocytepenia may occur.
Cont:
Blood film:
70-99% of white cells mature lymphocyte.
Smudge or smear cells also present.
Immunophenotyping:
Shows that the lymphocyte are B
cells(CD19)expressing one form of light
chain( or only)cells are also
CD5&CD23+ve.
Cont:
Treatment :
Modality of Treatment:
1-chemotherapy:
Chlorambucil: 6mg/m2 daily for 10 days monthly for 2-4
month after which remission will be obtain.
Fludarabine:more effective as single agent.
Corticosteroid :indicated in bone marrow failure,also
indicated in autoimmune hemolytic anemia and
thrombocytopenia.
Cont:
2-Radiotherapy:
Is useful in reducing the size of lymphnode
not responsive to chemo.
3-Monoclonal antibody:
Both campath IH(anti CD52)and
Rituximab(anti CD20)produce response
in proportion of patient.
Cont:
4-Splenectomy :
For immune-mediated cytopenia or painful
bulky splenomegally.
5-immunoglobulin replacement:
250mg/kg /month by IV for patient with
hypogammaglobulinemia and recurrent
infection.
5- Stem cell transplant:
Under clinical trial.
