t(8;16) AML developed subsequent to breast cancer therapy

Abstract: We report a breast cancer patient who developed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) one year following her adjuvant chemotherapy consisting of cyclophosphamide, adriamycin and 5-fluorouracil. Cytogenetic examination of bone marrow samples resulted in t(8;16)(p11.2;p13.3), which is a chromosome rearrangement observed in de novo and treatment related AML M4/M5 with a poor prognosis.

“…Alkylating agent-associated AML is usually diagnosed 3 to 7 years after treatment of the etiology. Chromosome 5 and/or 7 abnormalities were more common in cytogenetic analysis of AML patients ( 15 ). In contrast, AML associated with topoisomerase II inhibitors has a short incubation period and is typically presented as a translocation abnormality of 11q23, 21q22, or other chromosomes ( 16 ).…”
