Abstract

Over the last 40 years, a dramatic improvement in the prognosis of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia has been achieved. With current theurapetic regimens for the treatment, complete remission is achieved in more than 95 percent of patients, and 70 to 80 percent of these are long-term, eventfree survivors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the patients treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia in Gülhane Military Medical Academy, Department of Pediatric Hematology between 1993 and 2000. A retrospective analysis of 34 children, 19 girls (55.8%) and 15 boys (44.2%), with acute lymphoblastic leukemia was performed. The mean age of the patients was 5.8±3.3 (2-14) years. We evaluated the current status of diagnosis, treatment regimens and the disease- free and overall survival rates of our cases. The most frequent signs and symptoms on admission were fatigue (85.3%), hepatomegaly (79.4%), splenomegaly (73.5%) and fever (64.7%). The 35.3%, 26.5% and 38.2% of the patients were in the high risk, medium risk and standart risk groups, respectively. The patients were treated with either BFM 90, POG or BFM 95 regimens. Ten patients (29.4%) relapsed during or after treatment. In conclusion, the five-year disease- free survival rate was 69.6% and our patients achieved a five-year overall survival rate of 73.5% by chemotherapy. Bone marrow relapse with or without central nervous system relapse and the time to achieve the complete remission were the most important factors for disease-free survival rate.

Özet

Son 40 yılda, çocukluk çağı akut lenfoblastik lösemilerinin prognozunda çok önemli iyileşmeler elde edilmiştir. Günümüzde kullanılan tedavi rejimleri ile, hastaların %95'den fazlasında tam remisyon elde edilmekte, hastaların %70-80'i ise, hastalıksız olarak yaşamlarını devam ettirmektedir. Bu çalışmada, GATA Çocuk Sağlığı ve Hastalıkları AD Pediatrik Hematoloji polikliniğinde, 1993 ile 2000 yılları arasında, akut lenfoblastik lösemi tanısı ile tedavi edilen hastaların değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada, 19'u kız (%55.8), 15'i erkek (%44.2) toplam 34 akut lenfoblastik lösemili hastanın, retrospektif analizi gerçekleştirildi. Hastaların ortalama yaşları 5.8±3.3 (2-14) yıl idi. Hastaların tanı anındaki durumları, tedavi rejimleri ve hastalıksız sağ kalım ve toplam sağ kalım oranları araştırıldı.Başvuru anındaki en sık bulgu ve semptomlar, halsizlik (%85.3), hepatomegali (%79.4), splenomegali (%73.5) ve ateşti. Hastaların %35.3'ü yüksek risk grubunda, %26.5'i orta risk grubunda ve %38.2'si düşük risk grubunda yer almakta idi.Hastalar BFM 90, POG ve BFM 95 tedavi protokollerinden biri ile tedavi edildiler. On hasta (%29.4) hastalık esnasında veya hastalıktan sonra nüks etti. Sonuç olarak, hastalarımızın beş yıllık hastalıksız sağ kalım oranı %69.6 ve kemoterapi ile beş yıllık toplam sağ kalım oranı %73.5 olarak saptandı. Santral sinir sistemi relapsı ile beraber veya tek başına olan kemik iliği relapsı ve tam remisyona ulaşma zamanı, hastalıksız sağ kalım oranını etkileyen en önemli faktörlerdi.
