Classification of leukemia According to maturation and natural disease stage: • Acute leukemia (AL): low grade differentiation with the most of blast / immature cells, disease develops very fast and prognosis is very bad, mean natural disease stage is about 3 months or so. • Chronic leukemia (CL): high grade differentiation with the most near mature /mature cells, disease develops relatively slowly and prognosis is comparatively good, mean natural disease stage is several years .
According to involved cell line: Acute leukemia: Acute lymphoblast leukemia(ALL):L1-L3 Acute myelocytic leukemia (AML): M1-M7 Or acute non-lymphocytic leukemia (ANLL) Chronic leukemia: Chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML) Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) Hairy leukemia (HL)
Current status of leukemia in China • Incidence of leukemia is 2-3/100,000 with the tendency of increasing yearly! • Low than Europe and America, same as Asian countries • Acute > chronic(5.5:1) • ANLL > ALL(adult / children) • CML > CLL
Causes and mechanisms • Virus etiology: RNA virus (RT-virus), HTLV-1, • Radiation:x-ray, r-ray, isotope, • Chemicals and drugs: anti-tumor drugs, antibiotics: chloramphenicol, chemicals: benzene, • Hereditory factors:family leukemia, chromosome changes, tumor gene expression • Develop from other blood diseases:MDS, PNH, ML, MM,MF,
Acute leukemia Classification of acute leukemia (FAB) • ALL subtypes: L1-L3 • L1: small lymphoblast and immature lymphocytes with comparative good prognosis • L2: small and large lymphoblast and immature lymphocytes with comparative bad prognosis • L3: large lymphoblast and immature lymphocytes with very bad prognosis
ANLL subtype : M1-M7: M1: acute myelocytic leukemia without differentiation, myeloblast >90% M2: acute myelocytic leukemia with partial differentiation, myeloblast between 31- 89% M3: acute premyelocytic leukemia(APL) M4: acute myelomonocytic leukemia(AMML) M5: acute monocytic leukemia M6: acute erythroleukemia M7: acute megakaryocytic leukemia
MIC typing MICMB typing Morphology: FAB typing Immunology: monoclonal antibodies typing Cytogenetics: chromosome analysis and typing Molecular Biology: gene detect and analysis • APL: M3b+CD33+/ CD13+t(15,17)+ PML-RARa M3b CD33+/ CD13+ t(15,17) PML-RARa

Biochemistry test • serum uric acid increase: uricemia • coagulation factors deficiency • CSF: high pressure of CSF • WBC increase )>0.01x109/L with leukemic • cells in CSF • protein increase >450mg/L • glucose decrease
Diagnosis and differential diagnosis • MDS: pancytopenia with excess blast and immature cells , but <30% • AA: pancytopenia without blast and immature cells • ITP: thrombocytopenia along, megakaryocyte increase obviously, PAIg+ • Megaloblast anemia: erythroleukemia(M6) • Acute agranulocytosis: premyelocyte increases without Auer body
Treatment of acute leukemia non-curable give-up treatment curable combined chemotherapy clinical complete curable immunotherapy complete eliminated curable HPST
Chemotherapy The principles of chemotherapy • early:as early as possible • combination:CCSA+CCNSA • high dosage: dosage – effect relationship • interval: 2-3W • repeat:to eliminate minimal residual leukemic cells • individuation:experience and drug sensitivity test in vitro
Steps of chemotherapy: • Inductive remission treatment (IR): from diagnosis to get complete remission by 1-2 protocols. A critical therapeutic step. • Consolidation and intensification treatment (CI): 6-9protocols after IR to eliminate minimal residual leukemic cells. An inevitable step. • Maintenance treatment(MT):2-3year’s treatment after CI. An important step to prevent relapse and prolong disease free survival time (DFS).
