Abstract
One of the main risk-factors of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is age. The most favorable age group is children from 2 to 9 years old, and the adolescents and young adults have the worst prognosis. Treatment of ALL at adolescents and young adults is a unique problem of modern hematology now. This work presents the analysis of 368 cases of patients with primary ALL 15–18 years old, which were registered in the database of Russian-Belarussian group from April 2002 to November 2014. The aim of the analysis was the estimation of effectiveness of different generations of protocol for adolescents and prognostic significance of different factors to reveal the ways of future therapy optimizing in this age group. Event-free survival of adolescents 15–18 years old according our study was 56 ± 5 % in ALL-MB-2002 study and 57 ± 6 % in ALL-MB-2008 study. We did not received any differences in survival based on immunophenotype of blast cells. But the risk group analysis showed the worst results at patients with ALL from pre-B-precursor cells of high risk. No difference was revealed according the gender. One of the general problems remains high toxicity of therapy at patients of this age group. Treatment related mortality (TRM) was 13.2 and 12 % at ALL-MB-2002 and ALL-MB-2008 accordingly. Main cause of deaths remains infection.
