Hair cell leukemia in young patients

Abstract

Aim. To characterize clinical symptoms, course, immediate and long-term treatment results in young patients with hair cell leukemia (HCL).
Material and methods. The data on 41 HCL patients were analysed. The diagnosis was made by standard diagnostic protocol for HCL detection.
Results. The analysis of the age of 160 HCL patients studied demonstrated high (26%) incidence of HCL at young age. Young patients with HCL had special clinical manifestations and specific long-term outcomes of treatment with standard schemes.
Conclusion. Differences in occurrence of recurrences after standard therapy make it necessary to consider young HCL patients as a separate group who need adjuvant treatment to prolong remission.
