CLASSIFICATION OF CHRONIC LEUKEMIAS Chronic lymphoid is clearly demarcated from chronic myeloid.  Morphology, immunophenotyping and gene aberrations are quite distinct.  FCM is not done to differentiate the two but is done for CLL.  Special cases of chronic myeloid leukemia  Special cases of Chronic lymphocytic leukemia.  Is there chronic monocytic leukemia? 

SPECIAL “CML” TYPES  Chronic

neutrophilic leukemia  Chronic eosinophilic leukemia/hypereosinophilic syndrome  Atypical chronic myelogenous leukemia (Ph1 negative)

CHRONIC LYMPHOCYTIC LEUKEMIA  Now

classified with the small cell lymphoma as SCLL.  Majority are B type  Positive for CD5, the T cell marker bone marrow B lymphocytes.  Negative for CD10

CLL- Genetic Aberrations 

Aberrations were detected in more than 80%.  Commonest

are:  Deletion 13q14  Deletion 6q21  Trisomy of segment 12q13

Worst survival is in presence of deletion 17p13 (deletion of the tumour-suppressor gene p53).  Mutation in the gene for variable region of heavy chain of Ig makes prognosis better than if it is not mutated. 

(CMML)  Atypical Chronic myelogenous leukemia (aCML)  Juvenile chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (jCMML)

CHRONIC MYELOMONOCYTIC LEUKEMIA WHO CRITERIA  1. Persistent peripheral blood monocytosis (>1x109/l)  2. No Philadelphia chromosome or BCRABL fusion gene  3. <20% myeloblasts or monoblasts in the peripheral blood or marrow  4. Evidence of dysplasia in one or more myeloid lineages  M:F ratio is 2:1  Leukocytosis. Splenomegaly 08/06/14

12


ATYPICAL CML (aCML)- Features   

    

Peripheral blood leukocytosis with increased numbers of mature and immature neutrophils. Prominent dysgranulopoiesis. No Philadelphia chromosome or BCR/ABL fusion gene. Non-specific cytogenetic abnormalities in majority. Neutrophil precursors (e.g., promyelocytes, myelocytes, and metamyelocytes) accounting for more than 10% of white blood cells. Minimal absolute basophilia with basophils accounting for less than 2% of white blood cells. Absolute monocytosis with monocytes typically account for less than 10% of white blood cells. Hypercellular bone marrow with granulocytic proliferation and granulocytic dysplasia. Fewer than 20% blasts in the blood or bone marrow. Thrombocytopenia 08/06/14

13


JUVENILE CHRONIC MYELOMONOCYTI (LEUKEMIA (JCMML  

Clinical features: hepatosplenomegaly, lymphadenopathy,

pallor, fever and skin rash. M:F ratio is 2:1 Laboratory criteria (all three must be met): 1. Persistent peripheral blood monocytosis (>1 X 10 9/l) 2. No Philadelphia chromosome or BCR–ABL fusion gene 3. <20% myeloblasts or monoblasts in the marrow. Further criteria to be met (need to fulfill at least two): 1. Increased hemoglobin F (corrected for age) 2. Immature myeloid precursors in the peripheral blood smear. 3. Peripheral blood white blood cell count >10X10 9/l 4. Clonal cytogenetic abnormalities (including monosomy 7) 5. GM-CSF hypersensitivity of myeloid progenitors ( in vitro test) In JCMML typically there is dysregulation in the Ras signal transduction pathway

MYELODYSPLASTIC SYNDROMES (WHO)  Refractory

anemia

– With ringed sideroblasts – Without ringed sideroblasts  Refractory

cytopenia with multilineage dysplasia (RCMD).  Refractory anemia with excess blasts (RAEB)  5q- syndrome  MDS, unclassified. 08/06/14

17


MANAGEMENT OF CML  Are busulphan days gone?  α-Interferon (AIF)  Allogeneic HSC transplantation  Imatinib mesylate (Glivec)- a kinase inhibitor

specific to the kinase produced by the fused gene produced by the Philadelphia translocation.  Imatinib is now approved first-line therapy.  Transformed CML 08/06/14

18


MANAGEMENT OF CLL May need no therapy, follow up only.  ZAP-70 and CD38-19 are important in assessing prognosis.  Simple prednisolone-chlorambucil orally.  More involved chemotherapy protocols with fludarabine and prednisolone mostly included.  Monoclonal immunotherapy for B type (Rituximab), together with aggressive chemotherapy protocols. 
