Secondary hematological malignancies after breast cancer chemotherapy

Abstract: According to several reports, the 10 year incidence of secondary acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) after systemic chemotherapy is approximately 1.5%. The cumulative risk increases by 0.25--1% for the first 8 years after treatment. We have reported only 6 cases of hematological malignancies (0.3%) after breast cancer chemotherapy in our institute. We detected 2 cases of secondary AML and 1 case of MDS, 19, 52 and 12 months, respectively, after systemic chemotherapy for breast ca… Show more

“…The most common previous disease was plasma cell myeloma treated with melphalan (21.4%), and there were three patients with follicular lymphoma treated with fludarabine associated with cyclophosphamide, reinforcing the theory that this association increases the risk of developing t-MN as suggested in a previous study 25 . Breast cancer was the most frequent solid tumor (50% – 4/8) consistent with published data that has reported an increased rate of s-MN in this group of survivors probably as a consequence of an effective therapy 26, 27…”

“…Exposure to radiotherapy may further increase the risk for AML [19-21]. In turn, Smith et al [20] found the M4/M5 subtypes to be more frequent in patients receiving intense treatment regimens and concluded that this could be the result of cyclophosphamide-induced promotion of a doxorubicin-associated leukemogenic effect.…”

“…After treatment of a malignancy with systemic chemotherapy, it is estimated that the 10‐year incidence of AML or MDS is approximately 1.5% 1–3 . The cumulative risk increases by 0.25–1.00% for the first 8 years after treatment 1,2 . Between 10–20% of all new cases of AML and MDS diagnosed each year are considered secondary to a chemotherapy regimen 2,4 .…”

“…Between 10–20% of all new cases of AML and MDS diagnosed each year are considered secondary to a chemotherapy regimen 2,4 . Several chemotherapeutic agents including, but not limited to, the alkylating agents, topoisomerase inhibitors, and taxanes have been associated with the development of AML/MDS 1,2,4–9 (Table 1). The leukaemias associated with use of the alkylating agents and the type II topoisomerase inhibitors have been extensively studied and show several important differences in their presentation 1,2,5–7 (Table 2).…”
