摘要

Acute Myeloid or Myelogenous Leukemia (AML) is a rare malignancy characterized by bone marrow infiltration of abnormal hematopoietic precursors and resulting disruption of normal production of red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets. The FAB (French-American-British) classification subdivides AML into separate groups depending on abnormal cell morphology. Secondary AML may occur after treatment with alkylating agents and usually has a poorer prognosis than de novo leukemia. Overall prognosis remains guarded, with cure rates ranging from 0-60% depending on patient characteristics, leukemia cell type, and cytogenetic abnormalities. AML is sometimes discovered on a routine blood test in an asymptomatic individual; more often patients have constitutional complaints arising from anemia, leukocytosis or neutropenia, or thrombocytopenia. Blasts may be present in the peripheral blood, and are >30% in the bone marrow. In AML, >3% of these blasts are myeloperoxidase positive on staining. The presence of chromosomal translocations such as t(15;17) and t(8;21) is a good prognostic indicator; having normal chromosomes is intermediate in prognosis, and any chromosomal deletion or addition (-5, -7, trisomy 8) is a poor prognostic indicator. Treatment is tailored to the specific abnormality and FAB subtype, with particular subtypes having more favorable outcomes. Subcategorizing leukemias into different groups based on morphology, cytogenetics, and predicted outcome may lead to more specific and effective chemotherapeutic regimens and hopefully more cures in AML patients. INTRODUCTION to AML Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a rare malignancy that is characterized by infiltration of bone marrow by abnormal hematopoietic progenitors that disrupts normal production of erythroid, myeloid, and/or megakaryocytic cell lines. It can be subdivided by the FAB (French-American-British) system into specific types depending on which cell lines are involved. AML subtypes (M0- M7) are determined by cell morphology with particular subtypes such as M3 (acute promyelocytic leukemia or APL) having a more favorable outcome. By classifying AML in this manner, developed treatments can more specifically eradicate the particular defective cell clone and hopefully provide a better outcome after therapy. More relevant than subtype, however, is the leukemia cell karyotype (cytogenetics). See table1.
