Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of pregnant women with leukemia, the condition of leukemia and the influence of clinical treatment on maternal and infant outcomes, and to explore the best clinical management method of leukemia in pregnancy.Methods:Among 79 890 pregnant and lying-in women in Qilu Hospital of Shandong University from January 2004 to December 2015, 22 cases (0.028%) were with leukemia, including 5 cases of leukemia diagnosed before pregnancy [all acute myeloid leukemia (AML)] and 17 cases of leukemia diagnosed for the first time after pregnancy [9 cases of AML, 5 cases of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), 2 cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and 1 case of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)]. According to the gestational weeks of admission and confirmed gestational weeks of leukemia, the 22 patients were divided into early-stage group (initial gestational week < 14 weeks, 5 cases), mid-stage group (newly diagnosed gestational week ≥ 14 weeks and < 28 weeks, 11 cases), and late-stage group (newly diagnosed gestational week ≥ 28 weeks, 6 cases, including 2 cases with previous diagnosis of leukemia). The final pregnancy outcomes included abortion, induced labor, premature delivery, full-term delivery and maternal and infant death. The effects of clinical treatment and obstetric treatment of leukemia on the final maternal and infant outcomes, follow-up to understand the progress of primary disease and fertility of pregnant women, and the impact of leukemia and pregnancy treatment on long-term health status of infants were analyzed.Results:Among 22 patients with leukemia in pregnancy, 14 cases (63.6%) (5 cases in early-stage group and 9 cases in mid-stage group) choosed to give up pregnancy, including 4 cases of early pregnancy abortion and 10 cases of mid pregnancy induced abortion; 12 cases of 14 cases were induced abortion or induced labor after leukemia remission induced by advanced chemotherapy. The remaining 8 patients (2 cases in mid-stage group and 6 cases in late-stage group) continued pregnancy and gave birth to live infants, of which 3 cases received chemotherapy before delivery.Conclusions:Gestational leukemia is a high-risk obstetric case, but it is still expected to achieve good pregnancy outcome under good management and treatment. On the basis of following the principles of leukemia treatment, according to the gestational weeks and patients' wishes, the individualized clinical management plan is formulated, and the accurate chemotherapy timing is conducive to the prognosis of mother and infant.
