Advancements in Treatment of Refractory and Relapsed Myeloid Sarcoma

Abstract: The article by Kanate et al 1 described refractory myeloid sarcoma, which is one of the challenging entities to treat. We congratulate Kanate et al 1 for their excellent report on the role of venetoclax in refractory myeloid sarcoma. This letter is an attempt to discuss the few additional facts with regard to recent advancements in the treatment options for patients with refractory myeloid sarcoma.

“…Regarding local treatment, several studies have revealed that surgery or RT can shrink tumors, relieve local symptoms, and sometimes aid in diagnosis; however, they do not affect survival ( 24 26 ). In addition, as MS molecular mechanism’s understanding improves, targeted therapy is also on the horizon ( 27 , 28 ).…”

“…The management of such hematologic malignancies relies on intensive chemotherapy that is sometimes followed by AHSCT, even if the global treatment strategy for these lesions is currently not well established [7]. However, some patients with refractory disease or chronic conditions that are not suitable for intensive chemotherapy may benefit from targeted therapeutics such as venetoclax [3] or midostaurin [8]. We note in this regard that our patient was resistant to a combination of midaustorin and 5-azacytidine.…”

“…Other hematological conditions like myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and myelofibrosis (MF) are also reported to have leukemic deposits. MS commonly involves lymph nodes, skin, head and neck region, and orbit although almost any site may be involved (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13). Gastrointestinal involvement is very rare site of MS. Gallbladder is even more rare to involve and often confused with other common gallbladder pathologies like cholecystitis, gallbladder cancer etc.…”
