Combination Chemotherapy of Azacitidine and Cetuximab for Therapy-Related Acute Myeloid Leukemia following Oxaliplatin for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Abstract: Therapy-related leukemia (TRL) has been reported to occur after treatment with alkylating agents and/or topoisomerase II inhibitors. Oxaliplatin (OXP) is used as a key drug for the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC). Cisplatin and carboplatin have been linked with TRL, but the involvement of OXP is questionable. A 74-year-old male was diagnosed with peritoneal metastasis from CRC in July 2011. The patient received nine cycles of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), leucovorin (LV), and OXP (mFOLFOX-6 regimen) and three cy… Show more

“…TopII inhibitors cause chromosomal translocations that most often involve the KMT2A genes on chromosome 11q23, RUNX1 on 21q22 and PML/RARA. The development of leukemia has a shorter period ranging from 1 to 3 years and is almost never preceded by a MDS (20,(26)(27)(28).…”

“…The TOP II inhibitor induces t-AML with balanced translocations that generally arise within 3 years. It is often associated with mixed lymphocytic leukemia (MLL), runt-related transcription factor 1 (RUNX1), and retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARA) loci at 11q23, 21q22, and 17q21, respectively [ 25 , 26 ].…”

“…Importantly, in a recent large registry-based analysis, Morton and colleagues [4] noted an increasing incidence of treatment-related myeloid neoplasia (tMN) following treatment for esophagus cancer since the early 2000's. Although disease characteristics and clinical outcomes for tMN have been extensively studied in patients after treatment for breast cancer and lymphoma [5], only limited data exist for patients with a prior gastrointestinal malignancy, and all are confined to single case reports or small case series [6][7][8].…”
