Abstract
Purpose
This work aimed to evaluate the impact of a guaranteed access program to imatinib on the survival of patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia.
Methods
We carried out a retrospective, observational, and analytical study of the database of patients diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia of the Instituto Nacional de Cancerología and the Hospital General de México Dr. Eduardo to assess overall survival based on guaranteed access or not to imatinib.
Results
With an average follow-up of 99 months, all patients’ estimated 20-year overall survival was 72% (95% CI, 76–67). A significant difference was found in the 20-year survival probability in favor of patients with guaranteed access 76% (95% CI, 81–71) vs. 61% (95% CI, 69–52) (p < 0.001), in addition to those in which they had better attachment 81.2% (95% CI, 85–76) vs. 44.9% (95% CI, 52–37) (p < 0.001).
Conclusion
CML is the most frequent chronic leukemia in Mexico. It mainly affects the economically active population (mean age 40), and the prognosis in our country has improved, emulating developed countries; however, the results depend on access to treatment and proper monitoring.
期刊介绍:
Cancer Causes & Control is an international refereed journal that both reports and stimulates new avenues of investigation into the causes, control, and subsequent prevention of cancer. By drawing together related information published currently in a diverse range of biological and medical journals, it has a multidisciplinary and multinational approach.
The scope of the journal includes: variation in cancer distribution within and between populations; factors associated with cancer risk; preventive and therapeutic interventions on a population scale; economic, demographic, and health-policy implications of cancer; and related methodological issues.
The emphasis is on speed of publication. The journal will normally publish within 30 to 60 days of acceptance of manuscripts.
Cancer Causes & Control publishes Original Articles, Reviews, Commentaries, Opinions, Short Communications and Letters to the Editor which will have direct relevance to researchers and practitioners working in epidemiology, medical statistics, cancer biology, health education, medical economics and related fields. The journal also contains significant information for government agencies concerned with cancer research, control and policy.
