4.The complications of induction chemotherapy in adult patients with acute myelogenous leukemia at Hue Central Hospital
Journal of Medical Research 2007;51(4):13-19
Background: Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) is the most common disease of malignant hemopathy in adult. Although induction therapy induced the long complete remissions, but complications of this intensive therapy is very serious. Objectives: to evaluate the complications of induction chemotherapy in adult patients with acute myelogenous leukemia at Hue central hospital". Subject and method: 30 AML patients aged from 10 to 30 were treated at clinical hematology service, Hue central hospital from Mars, 2005 to July, 2006. The diagnosis of AML based on FAB classification. Induction therapy consisted of a combination of cytarabin 100mglm2/day given by continuous IV over 7 days and daunorubicin 45mg/m2/day for 3 days. Complications were evaluated based on toxicity grade of WHO. \r\n', u'Results: Alopecia was the most common complications (100%) but good recovery. Gastrointestinal toxicity included: nausea and vomiting (6.6%), oral mucositis (40%) and diarrhea (30%) Cerebral hemorrhage due thrombocytopenia (6.66%) and neutropenic septicemia (20%) are the most severe complications. Acute complications on cardio - vascular system were rare and only mild degree. Conclusion: The complications of induction chemotherapy in adult patients with acute myelogenous leukemia occur at many organs with different degrees. Among of them, bone marrow suppression is the most severe complication with cerebral hemorrhage due thrombocytopenia and neutropenic septicemia which are fatal complications in theses patients. \r\n', u'\r\n', u'

The overall therapeutic outcome of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is poor, and relapse and refractory are the main reasons for treatment failure. Leukemia cells of relapsed and refractory AML (R/R-AML) patients are usually resistant to conventional chemotherapy, and new treatment regimens are urgently needed to further improve the survival rate and prolong the survival time of these patients.There are no recommended unified treatment regimens other than entering clinical trials.At present,the main options are salvage chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), and HSCT is the only possible cure for R/R-AML, but the prognosis of most of these patients is still poor.In recent years,the treatment status of AML has progressed rapidly, and the new therapies are emerging, many new drugs have become the research focus. Some progress has been made in improving chemosensitivity and overcoming chemoresistance by combining the new drugs with the original chemotherapeutic drugs, which provide a new treatment option and improve the overall prognosis for R/R-AML patients. This article will review the current treatment status and the latest progress in new drug research of R/R-AML.
