Modern intensive chemotherapy regimens have improved the prognosis for adult patients with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). With these regimens, the complete response (CR) rates are approximately 75% and long-term disease-free survival (DFS) rates are about 20-35%. For patients with high-risk ALL, DFS rates are only 20% or less. Hyper-CVAD regimen is effective in ALL and aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) with increased CR rates and DFS rates. Between June 2002 and October 2006, 53 consecutive adult patients with newly diagnosed adult ALL were treated with Hyper-CVAD regimen for six to eight cycles. The alternating courses were given every 3-4 weeks or earlier if count recovery occurred. CR rates of 73.6% were achieved in 39 patients, the estimated 2-year survival rate was 82.9% and the estimated 2-year event-free survival (EFS) rate was 87.3%. Side effects were as expected, mostly attributed to myelosuppression. Analysis of prognostic factors suggested that some previously well-established poor prognostic factors such as the degree of leukocytosis and central nervous system (CNS) or testicular involvement were less important with this dose-intensive regimen. However, patients with mediastinal disease had lower CR rates (P<0.05), with the presence of hepatomegaly and t(9;22) abnormalities had poor survival (P<0.05). Compared with other established adult ALL regimens, Hyper-CVAD regimen was associated with significantly better CR rates, overall survival and EFS rates. The long-term follow-up results of Hyper-CVAD were favorable.
现代强化化疗方案改善了成人急性淋巴细胞白血病(ALL)患者的预后。采用这些方案,完全缓解(CR)率约为75%,长期无病生存率(DFS)约为20% - 35%。对于高危ALL患者,DFS率仅为20%或更低。Hyper - CVAD方案对ALL和侵袭性非霍奇金淋巴瘤(NHL)有效,可提高CR率和DFS率。在2002年6月至2006年10月期间,53例新诊断的成人ALL患者连续接受Hyper - CVAD方案治疗6至8个周期。交替疗程每3 - 4周进行一次,若血细胞计数恢复则提前进行。39例患者的CR率达到73.6%,估计2年生存率为82.9%,估计2年无事件生存率(EFS)为87.3%。副作用如预期,主要归因于骨髓抑制。预后因素分析表明,一些先前确定的不良预后因素,如白细胞增多程度以及中枢神经系统(CNS)或睾丸受累情况,在这种剂量密集型方案中不太重要。然而,纵隔疾病患者的CR率较低(P<0.05),有肝肿大和t(9;22)异常的患者生存率较差(P<0.05)。与其他已确立的成人ALL方案相比,Hyper - CVAD方案的CR率、总生存率和EFS率显著更好。Hyper - CVAD方案的长期随访结果良好。
