post-remission therapy of treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)
(choice depends on risk of recurrence)
- Average risk 💚
- consolidation/intensification chemo (~7 mo)
- → maintenance (~2–3 y)
- High risk 🔴
- high-dose chemo w/ allo-HSCT considered for Pts in CR1.
- High-risk disease:
- Ph ⊕
- Ph-like
- (based on gene expression)
- MLL translocation
- t(4;11)
- complex karyotype
- hypodiploid
- (<44 chromosomes)
- early T-cell phenotype
- (ETP; lacks CD1a, CD8, CD5weak, myeloid markers)
- minimal residual disease (MRD)
- morphologic remission
- but flow cytometry or molec. markers of tumor still detectable.
