Objective:
To summarize the clinical characteristics of patients with acute myeloid leukemia-type M2 (AML-M2) and analyze the factors affecting the prognosis.
Methods:
One hundred eighty-eight AML-M2 patients were retrospectively analyzed for the following parameters including peripheral blood, immune phenotypes, fusion genes and cytogenetics to explore their significance for the overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). The prognostic factors were also analyzed.
Results:
Among 188 patients with AML-M2, the chromosomal abnormality with t (8;21), normal chromosome and other abnormalities accounted for 37% (70/188), 41% (77/188) and 22% (41/188), respectively. For the immunopheno typing of M2 patients, the hematopoietic progenitor cell differentiation antigen CD117 (96.1%) were mainly expressed, CD34 (81.6%) and HLA-DR (55.9%), and myeloid-associated antigen of CD13 (90.5%) and CD33 (89.4%) were also highly expressed. There were lymphoid-associated antigens expressed in some patients, among which the positive expression rate of CD19 was highest (29.6%), and the next was CD7 (28.5%). The most common accompanied mutations was FLT3 mutation (30.2%). The univariate analysis showed that the patients at age＜50 years old, without extramedullary infiltration, with positive expression of CD19, NPM-1 (-), CEBPA double mutation(+), and HSCT were significant superior in OS and PFS (P＜0.05); the multivariate analysis showed that the patient at age＜50 years old, without extramedullary infiltration, with positive expression of CD19 and CEBPA double mutation (+) were significant superior in OS and PFS (P＜0.05). The analysis indicated that the Karytypes affected only OS (P＜0.05), while the NPM-1 gene mutation positive affected only PFS (P＜0.05). The univarate analysis of factors affecting the survival in 70 AML-M2 patients with t (8;21) abnormatity showed that the C-KIT gene mutation was a poor factor for OS and PFS.
Conclusion:
The clinical characteristics are different between M2 patients with different karyotype, and prognostic analysis shows that the karytypes have an impact on overall survival; age, extramedullary infiltration, CD19 expression and CEBPA double mutation are also the main factors impacting the prognosis of patients.
