post-remission therapy of treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)

 (choice depends on risk of recurrence)

  1. Average risk 💚
  • consolidation/intensification chemo (~7 mo)
  • → maintenance (~2–3 y)
  1. 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.
