Aim. To evaluate the impact of additional chromosomal aberrations on outcomes of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with t(8;21)(q22;q22)/RUNX1-RUNX1T1 translocation. Methods. Twenty-five AML patients with t(8;21)(q22;q22)/ RUNX1-RUNX1T1 translocation (10 women and 15 men, aged from 2 to 58 years; median 20.2) were examined. Analysis of overall (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) predictors after allo-HSCT in patients with different clinical, transplant and cytogenetic characteristics was performed. Results. The additional cytogenetic abnormalities were found in 13 (52 %) patients before the transplantation, at that, complex karyotype with three or more chromosomal abnormalities were registered in 9 (69 %) patients. The univariate analysis showed that OS and EFS after allo-HSCT differed in patients with different characteristics such as age (p = 0.03; p = 0.0006), clinical status at transplantation (p = 0.0002; p = 0,006), donor type (p = 0.0003; p = 0.002), the interval from diagnosis of leukemia to allo-HSCT (p = 0,008, for OS only), additional cytogenetic abnormalities (p = 0.03; p = 0.009) and complex karyotype (p = 0.004; p = 0.0003), respectively. In multivariate analysis, independent predictors of OS were donor type (p = 0.01), the interval from diagnosis of leukemia to allo-HSCT (p = 0.01), and additional cytogenetic abnormalities in karyotype (p = 0.04), as well as donor type (p = 0.04) and patient’s age (p = 0.004) for EFS. Conclusion. AML with t(8;21)(q22;q22)/RUNX1-RUNX1T1 translocation is a heterogeneous disease. The prognosis in patients with the additional cytogenetic abnormalities, especially in those with the complex karyotype, is worse both after the standard chemotherapy (i.e. before allo-HSCT), and after allo-HSCT.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
