Incidence, risk factors, and outcome of asymptomatic central nervous system involvement in adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia
Examination of central nervous system (CNS) involvement is not routine diagnostic practice in adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Therefore, many asymptomatic patients with CNS involvement might go undetected. The effect of CNS involvement on the AML disease course is not well defined, with conflicting results regarding clinical outcome. This study aimed to determine the incidence of asymptomatic CNS involvement in AML estimated by multiparametric flow cytometry of cerebrospinal fluid (MFC-CSF) at diagnosis, the related potential risk factors, and prognosis. In total, 645 patients with de novo AML were screened; 183 (28.4%) of them fulfilled institutional practice for MFC-CSF analysis based on presence of CNS symptoms and/or clinical features. CNS symptoms and signs were observed in 8/183 (4.4%) patients, but most patients (175/183, 95.6%) were asymptomatic. In the asymptomatic group, 73/175 (41.7%) patients had positive or suspicious cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) findings categorized as CNS positive (CNSpos) and 102/175 (58.3%) had normal CNS findings categorized as CNS negative (CNSneg). The presence of leukemic blasts was confirmed in 81/183 (44.3%) patients; the total incidence of CNS involvement in the whole AML group was 12.6% (81/645). Compared with asymptomatic patients with CNSneg, those with CNSpos had a significantly higher frequency of lymphadenopathy, white blood cell count ≥30 × 109/L, presence of the monocytic phenotype, and a high percentage of bone marrow (BM) blasts. The multivariate logistic regression model identified monocytic phenotype (p = 0.047) and high percentage of BM blasts (p = 0.042) as predictors for CNSpos. CNSpos did not affect overall survival in patients with AML. There was a higher incidence of CNS involvement in asymptomatic adult patients with de novo AML, emphasizing possible undervalued rates of CNS disease at diagnosis. Prospective studies should determine whether diagnostic lumbar puncture for MFC-CSF analysis and CNS prophylaxis could contribute to better selection and prognosis in this patient population.
期刊介绍:
Hematological Oncology considers for publication articles dealing with experimental and clinical aspects of neoplastic diseases of the hemopoietic and lymphoid systems and relevant related matters. Translational studies applying basic science to clinical issues are particularly welcomed. Manuscripts dealing with the following areas are encouraged:
-Clinical practice and management of hematological neoplasia, including: acute and chronic leukemias, malignant lymphomas, myeloproliferative disorders
-Diagnostic investigations, including imaging and laboratory assays
-Epidemiology, pathology and pathobiology of hematological neoplasia of hematological diseases
-Therapeutic issues including Phase 1, 2 or 3 trials as well as allogeneic and autologous stem cell transplantation studies
-Aspects of the cell biology, molecular biology, molecular genetics and cytogenetics of normal or diseased hematopoeisis and lymphopoiesis, including stem cells and cytokines and other regulatory systems.
Concise, topical review material is welcomed, especially if it makes new concepts and ideas accessible to a wider community. Proposals for review material may be discussed with the Editor-in-Chief. Collections of case material and case reports will be considered only if they have broader scientific or clinical relevance.
