Abstract

Patients with refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia reveal rapid progression. In the treatment of these patients anti-metabolic purine analogues, mainly fludarabine were reported to be promising drugs. During the period between 1994 and 1995 the patients all of which were followed as advanced stage-refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia were received I.V fludarabine(30 mg/m2X5 days for every 4 weeks) in the Oncology Department of Çukurova University Medical Faculty. Of the 7 patients, 4 showed partial response, 2 stabile disease and 1 progressive disease as response to therapy. All patients experienced myelosupression. Complications were 1 severe pulmonary and 1 severe oral infection, 1 intestinal amoebiasis, 1 neutropenic septicemia and 1 retinal haemorrhagia, and all needed to be supported with blood products. Although the improvements in hematological parameters of the half and clinical findings of the one third, it should be paid attention to treat CLL with fludarabine whenever major adverse effects were taken into consideration.

Özet

Tedaviye refrakter kronik lenfositik lösemili hastalar hızlı progresif seyir gösterirler. Bu hastaların ilaçla tedavisinde fludarabine başta olmak üzere purin analoğu anti-metabolitler umut veren ilaçlar olarak bildirilmektedir. Çukurova Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Dahiliye-Onkoloji Bilim Dalı'nda 1994-1995 yılları arasında takip edilen hepsi ileri evre ve tedaviye refrakter kronik lenfositik lösemi'li 7 hastaya Fludarabine (30mg/m2/günx5) verildi. Tedaviye yanıt 7 hastanın 4'ünde parsiyel yanıt, 2'sinde stabil hastalık ve birinde progresif hastalık şeklindeydi. Bütün hastalarda belirgin miyelosupresyon oldu. Komplikasyonlar, 1 hastada ağır akciğer enfeksiyonu, 1 hastada ağır oral enfeksiyon, 1 hastada intestinal amibiyazis, 1 hastada nötropenik sepsis ve 1 hastada retinal kanama şeklindeydi ve hastaların hepsine kan ürünü desteği yapılması gerekti. Fludarabine ile hastaların yarısında hematolojik parametrelerde ve yaklaşık üçte birinde klinik bulgularda düzelme olmasına karşın ilacın ciddi yan etkilerinin bulunması göz önüne alındığında, bu ilaç ile KLL tedavisine daha dikkatli yaklaşılması gerektiği ortaya çıkmaktadır.
