Myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukaemia Dr. Edmond S. K. Ma Division of Haematology Department of Pathology The University of Hong Kong
Leukaemia classification • FAB • MIC 1987 • EGIL 1996 • REAL • Proposed by ILSG in 1994 • Lymphoma classification, but principles extended to other haemic neoplasms • Encompasses all available information • Consensus approach
WHO Classification • Collaborative project of: • European Association for Haematopathology • Society for Haematopathology • Started in 1995 • Steering Committee • Working Group Meeting in Lyon, France, November 8 – 11, 2000 • Clinical Advisory Committee
Myelodysplastic syndrome • A group of clonal haemopoietic stem cell disorder characterized by dysplasia and ineffective haemopoiesis in one or more major myeloid cell line • < 20% blasts in blood and bone marrow
Myelodysplastic syndrome • A disease of the elderly • Incidence : 3 – 20 /100,000 • Increasing number of therapy related MDS • Clinical features: related to cytopenia • Etiology: prior chemoradiotherapy, benzene exposure, cigarette smoking, inherited syndromal disorders (e.g. Fanconi’s anaemia)
Dyserythropoiesis • Nuclear budding • Inter-nuclear bridging • Karyorrhexis • Multinuclearity • Megaloblastoid maturation • Ringed sideroblast • Vacuolation • PAS +ve
Dysgranulopoiesis • Small size • Nuclear hypolobulation (pseudo-Pelger Heut) • Hypersegmentation • Hypogranularity • Pseudo-Chediak Higashi granules
Dysmegakaryocytopoiesis • Hypolobulated micro-megakaryocyte • Non-lobulated nuclei in megakaryocyte of all sizes • Multiple, widely separated nuclei
Abnormal localization of immature precursors • Presence of 3 or more small clusters of myeloblasts and promyelocytes (5 – 8 cells) in marrow trephine biopsy in the central portion of the marrow away from the vascular structure and the endosteal surface of the bone trabeculae
Genetics • 5q- syndrome • del (17p), small hypolobulated or vacuolated neutrophils, p53 mutations, poor prognosis • -5/5q- • -7/7q- • del(20q) • 3q21q26 abnormality
Cytogenetics and prognosis • Good risk • Normal, isoloted 5q-, isolated 20q-, -Y • Poor risk • Complex changes (> 3 abnormalities) • Chromosome 7 abnormalities • Intermediate risk • All other changes
International Prognostic Scoring System Score00.511.5 • % blasts <5 5-10 - 11-20 • Karyotype Good Intermediate Poor • Cytopenia 0-1 2-3 • Cytopenia: Hb < 10 g/dL; neutrophils < 1.5 X 109/L; plt < 100 X 109/L • Risk groups Low = 0; Intermediate-1 = 0.5-1; Intermediate-2 = 1.5-2; High = 2.5
PB anaemia, no or rare (<1%) blasts MB Unilineage dysplasia, restricted to erythroid lineage, < 5% blasts, < 15% ringed sideroblasts Refractory anaemia
Refractory anaemia • Exclusion of known secondary causes of dyserythropoiesis • If no cytogenetic abnormality present, reassess after 6 months • Protracted clinical course, median survival is 66 months, leukaemic transformation 6%
PB Anaemia No blast MB 15% ringed sideroblasts Erythroid dysplasia only <5% blasts Refractory anaemia with ringed sideroblasts
Ringed sideroblast • Erythroid precursor • One third or more of the nucleus • Encircled by 10 or more siderotic granules
Refractory anaemia with ringed sideroblasts • Indolent clinical course • Median survival = 6 years • Leukaemic transformation 1 – 2 %
PB Bicytopenia or pancytopenia No or rare blasts No Auer rod < 1 X 109/L monocytes MB Dysplasia in 10% of cells in two or more myeloid cell lines < 5% blasts No Auer rod < 15% ringed sideroblasts Refractory cytopenia with multilineage dysplasia
PB Bicytopenia or pancytopenia No or rare blasts No Auer rod < 1 X 109/L monocytes MB Dysplasia in 10% of cells in two or more myeloid cell lines < 5% blasts No Auer rod 15% ringed sideroblasts Refractory cytopenia with multilineage dysplasia and ringed sideroblasts
Refractory cytopenia with multilineage dysplasia • Cytogenetic abnormality seen in 50% +8 Monosomy 7 del(7q) Monosomy 5 del (5q) del (20q) Complex karyotype
Refractory cytopenia with multilineage dysplasia • Leukaemic transformation 11% • Overall median survival 33 months • RCMD and RCMD-RS are similar in clinical course • Patients with complex karyotype have similar clinical course to RAEB
PB Cytopenia <5% blasts No Auer rod <1% monocytes MB Unilineage or multilineage dysplasia 5-9% blasts No Auer rod Refractory anaemia with excess blasts-1
PB Cytopenia 5-19 % blasts Auer rod ± <1% monocytes MB Unilineage or multilineage dysplasia 10-19% blasts Auer rod ± Refractory anaemia with excess blasts-2
Refractory anaemia with excess blasts • Blast cells show myeloid phenotype • Leukaemic transformation • RAEB-1 25% • RAEB-2 33% • Median survival • RAEB-1 18 months • RAEB-2 10 months
PB Cytopenias No or rare blasts No Auer rods MB Unilineage dysplasia, one myeloid cell line (non-erythroid) <5% blasts No Auer rod Myelodysplastic syndrome, unclassifiable
PB Anaemia Usually normal or increased platelet count <5% blasts MB Normal or increased megakaryocytes with hypolobulated nuclei <5% blasts Isolated 5q- abnormality No Auer rod 5q- syndrome
Acute myeloid leukaemia • Acute myeloid leukaemia with recurrent genetic abnormalities • Acute myeloid leukaemia with multilineage dysplasia • Acute myeloid leukaemia and myelodysplastic syndrome, therapy-related • Acute myeloid leukaemia not otherwise categorized
Acute myeloid leukaemia • The blast % is lowered from 30% (FAB) to 20% (WHO) • Median age of onset = 60 yrs • Incidence 4 –10 / 100,000 • Etiology
