Acute Leukemia Kristine Krafts, M.D.
Hematologic Malignancies Leukemia • Malignancy of hematopoietic cells • Starts in bone marrow, can spread to blood, nodes • Myeloid or lymphoid • Acute or chronic Lymphoma • Malignancy of hematopoietic cells • Starts in lymph nodes, can spread to blood, marrow • Lymphoid only • Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin
Leukemias Hematologic Malignancies • Acute leukemias • Chronic leukemias Lymphomas • Hodgkin lymphoma • Non-Hodgkin lymphoma Plasma cell disorders • Multiple myeloma
Myeloid Hematologic Malignancies Lymphoid • Acute myeloid leukemia • Chronic myeloid leukemia • Acute lymphoblastic leukemia • Chronic lymphocytic leukemia • Hodgkin lymphoma • Non-Hodgkin lymphoma • Multiple myeloma
How is a diagnosis made? • Clinical setting • Morphology • Immunophenotyping • Molecular studies • Cytogenetics
Morphology Regular stain (Wright-Giemsa) Cytochemical stain (Non-specific esterase)
Normal chromosomes Chromosomes in CML
Molecular Studies cut paste amplify
Leukemias Hematologic Malignancies • Acute leukemias • Chronic leukemias Lymphomas • Hodgkin lymphoma • Non-Hodgkin lymphoma Plasma cell disorders • Multiple myeloma
Leukemias Hematologic Malignancies • Acute leukemias • Chronic leukemias
Acute vs. chronic leukemia Acute leukemia • Sudden onset • Can occur in either adults or children • Rapidly fatal without treatment • Composed of immature cells (blasts) Chronic leukemia • Slow onset • Occurs only in adults • Longer course • Composed of mature cells
Acute ALL AML Chronic CLL CML Lymphoid Myeloid
Acute ALL AML Chronic CLL CML
Acute myeloid leukemia Acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia Chronic myeloid leukemia
ALL AML CLL CML Lymphoid Myeloid
Leukemias Hematologic Malignancies • Acute leukemias
Pathophysiology of Acute Leukemia • Definition: malignant proliferation of immature myeloid or lymphoid cells in the bone marrow • Cause • Clonal expansion • Maturation failure • Badness • Crowd out normal cells • Inhibit normal cell function • Infiltrate other organs
Acute myeloid leukemia Acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Clinical Findings in Acute Leukemia • Sudden onset (days) • Symptoms of bone marrow failure • Fatigue • Infections • Bleeding • Bone pain (expanding marrow) • Organ infiltration (liver, spleen, brain)
Laboratory Findings in Acute Leukemia • Blasts/immature cells in blood • Leukocytosis • Anemia • Thrombocytopenia
Leukemias Hematologic Malignancies • Acute leukemias • acute myeloid leukemia • acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Leukemias Hematologic Malignancies • Acute leukemias • acute myeloid leukemia
Acute Myeloid Leukemia • Malignant proliferation of myeloid blasts in blood, bone marrow • 20% cutoff for diagnosis • Many subtypes • Bad prognosis Things you must know
Acute Myeloid Leukemia M0 - acute myeloblastic leukemia, minimally differentiated M1 - acute myeloblastic leukemia without maturation M2 - acute myeloblastic leukemia with maturation M3 - acute promyelocyticleukemia M4 - acute myelomonocytic leukemia M5 - acute monocyticleukemia M6 - acute erythroblasticleukemia M7 - acute megakaryoblasticleukemia
