Abstract

To validate patient responses to imatinib mesylate, which induces hematologic and cytogenetic remission and, consequently, modifies the progression of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Materials and methods: Between January 2006 and July 2009, 31 patients with chronic-phase CML were treated with imatinib therapy in the hematology unit of Atatürk University Medical Faculty Training Hospital. Imatinib treatment was begun at the standard dose of 400 mg/day, as either first-line or second-line therapy. Results: At the end of the second month of treatment, all of the patients had achieved complete hematologic response. After 12 months, the rate of complete cytogenetic response was 71%, and after 24 months, the rate of complete molecular response was 85%. The most commonly observed adverse event was edema (facial and/or peripheral). No grade 3 or 4 hematological adverse events were observed during the study period. Conclusion: Our CML patients' responses to imatinib therapy were similar to those seen in other countries, although our group had a lower rate of adverse events.

Özet

Amaç: İmatinib mesilat kronik myeloid lösemi (KML)’de hematolojik ve sitogenetik remisyonu takiben hastalığınilerlemesinde düzelmeyi indüklemektedir. Biz bu çalışmada tedaviye cevabı değerlendirmek istedik.Yöntem ve gereç: Çalışmaya Ocak 2006 ve Haziran 2009 yılları arasında Atatürk Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi HastanesiHematoloji bölümünde KML tanısıyla takib edien ve imatinib ile tedavi edilen 31 hasta alındı. Hastalara birincil veyaikincil olarak standart 400 mg/gün imatinib başlandı.Bulgular: Çalışmada 2. ay sonunda tüm hastalarda hematolojik yanıt sağlandı. 12. ay sonunda tam sitogentik yanıtoranı % 71 ve 24. ay sonunda tam moleküler yanıt oranı % 85’idi. En sık karşılaşılan yan etki ödemdi (yüzde ve/veyaakral bölgelerde). Çalışma sürecinde hiçbir hastada 3. veya 4. derece hematolojik yan etki gözlenmedi.Sonuç: Bizim çalışma sonuçlarımıza göre hastalarımızda imatinib tedavisi ile diğer ülkelerdekine bezer oranlarda tedavibaşarısı sağlanırken daha düşük oranlarda yan etki ile karşılaşılmıştır.
