Abstract

Background

Atypical Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (aCML) is a rare and aggressive myelodysplastic syndrome/myeloproliferative neoplasm. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and survival outcomes of aCML patients.

Methods

The study utilized data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database from 2001 to 2020. The age-adjusted incidence rate (AIR) of aCML was calculated, and survival outcomes were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method and accelerated failure time (AFT) regression analysis.

Results

The AIR of aCML was found to be 0.024 per 100,000 person-years, with the highest rate observed in 2020. The incidence of aCML increased with age and was higher in males. The study cohort predominantly consisted of elderly White individuals, with an average age at diagnosis of 68.2 ± 15.3 years. The median overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS) were 1.4 years and 1.7 years, respectively. Older age was independently associated with worse survival outcomes. Notably, treatment delay and chemotherapy did not significantly impact OS or DSS.

Conclusions

This study provides comprehensive insights into the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and survival outcomes of aCML, highlighting its rarity, aggressive nature, and poor prognosis. Further research is needed to validate these findings and explore novel therapeutic strategies for improving outcomes in this challenging hematologic malignancy.
