Median survival was 50 wk in the BCNU arm, 41 wk in the methylprednisolone arm, 43 wk in the procarbazine arm, and 41 wk in the BCNU plus steroid arm. A significantly larger proportion of patients treated with procarbazine or BCNU were long-term survivors compared to those receiving high-dose steroids alone with 2-yr survival rates of 19.5%, 8%, 22%, and 18%, respectively. [Pg.132]

Chemotherapy has dramatically improved the outlook of patients with acute leukemia. Over 85% of children and young adults with acute leukemia achieve an initial complete remission (CR) of their disease. Overall, 65% to 85% of adults achieve an initial CR. " For persons less than 20 years of age, the 5-year survival rate is 83% for ALL and 50% for AML. The prognosis of adult acute leukemia is generally worse than that of childhood leukemia, with only 30% to 40% of patients becoming long-term survivors. " ... [Pg.2486]

AML accounts for most cases of acute leukemia in adults, and occurs with increasing frequency in elderly patients. It accounts for only 15% to 20% of the acute leukemias in children, but is responsible for 30% of leukemia-related mortality. With recent advances in chemotherapy and supportive care, 65% to 85% of all patients achieve CR and 20% to 40% become long-term survivors. " Overall, the median duration of remission is 1 to 2 years. " In patients older than age 60 years, the percentage of patients achieving a CR is lower (39% to 64%), and the median duration of remission is shorter than 1 year. In contrast to ALL, effective therapies used in AML cause severe and often prolonged myelosuppression, with the exception of tretinoin. As a result, patients with AML, particularly patients older than age 60 years, are at greater risk for treatment-related fatal infectious and bleeding complications. [Pg.2496]

With the success of HSCT, the number of long-term survivors has grown. Many survivors experience delayed complications of transplantation, especially those receiving alloHSCT, and primary care physicians will care for them. Major late complications include restrictive and obstructive pulmonary disease bone and joint disease cataract formation endocrine dysfunction, including sterility impaired growth and development infections cardiovascular disease and cirrhosis as a result of chronic hepatitis C infection and secondary malignancies.
