Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is characterized by the presence of the t(15;17) translocation, resulting in the PML-RAR fusion protein. Standard treatment consists of the combination of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) with an anthracycline that results in complete remission (CR) rates in excess of 90%. Recently, several new agents have been shown to have clinical activity in APL. These include a liposomal formulation of ATRA (lipo-ATRA), and gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO). Herein, we report a patient with APL who relapsed with extramedullary disease 2.5 years after lipo-ATRA therapy and was successfully treated with the sequence of A2O3, ATRA, and GO and we summarize our experience with patients with isolated extramedullary relapse in APL.
急性早幼粒细胞白血病(APL)的特征是存在t(15;17)易位,导致PML-RAR融合蛋白。标准治疗包括全反式维甲酸(ATRA)与蒽环类药物联合使用,其完全缓解(CR)率超过90%。最近,几种新药已显示在APL中具有临床活性。这些药物包括ATRA的脂质体制剂(lipo-ATRA)和吉妥珠单抗奥唑米星(GO)。在此,我们报告1例APL患者,其在接受lipo-ATRA治疗2.5年后出现髓外疾病复发,并先后接受A2O3、ATRA和GO治疗成功缓解,同时我们总结了对APL孤立性髓外复发患者的治疗经验。
