Abstract

AIM: To study the experience in managing patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) diagnosed in different periods of pregnancy/MATERIAL AND METHODS: Nine women with APL were treated in 1998-2013. When APL was diagnosed in the first trimester of pregnancy, the latter was terminated (n=1); when its diagnosis was made in the second trimester, chemotherapy (CT) followed by delivery (D) was performed (n=3); when it was done in the third trimester, D followed by CT was done in relation to gestational age (n=2) or these were performed at a later gestational age (n=1). APL was treated in 5 and 1 patients according to the AIDA protocol and the 7+3 plus ATRA one, respectively/RESULTS: All the patients with APL achieved remission after the first cycle of induction CT; 5 of the 6 patients did at the moment of delivery; one patient underwent emergency delivery during cytopenia after the cycle. The gestational age at delivery after CT was 34 (34-40) weeks. Spontaneous term labor occurred in 2 patients at an obstetric hospital. Cesarean section was made in 4 of the 6 patients. All babies were born alive, healthy, and without developmental abnormalities. Their age at the time of analyzing the results was 2.5 months to 15 years. Four of the 9 patients are presently alive. Late recurrences occurred in 3 (33%) patients. The median overall survival is 26 (0.25-128) months; the median relapse-free survival is 17.5 (0-127) months/CONCLUSION: APL treatment in pregnant women, which is aimed at saving two lives, is effective and reasonable.

Лечение острого промиелоцитарного лейкоза у беременных. - Резюме. Цель исследования. Изучить опыт ведения больных острым промиелоцитарным лейкозом (ОПЛ), диагноз которым установили на разных сроках беременности. Материалы и методы. В 1998-2013 гг. провели лечение 9 женщин с ОПЛ. При диагностике ОПЛ в I триместре беременность прерывали (n=1), во II проводили химиотерапию (ХТ) с последующим родоразрешением - РР (n=3), при диагностике в III триместре беременности (ТБ) в зависимости от сроков гестации либо выполняли РР с последующей ХТ (n=2), либо проводили ХТ и РР в более поздние сроки гестации (n=1). Лечение ОПЛ у 5 больных проводили по протоколу AIDA, у 1 больной - по программе "7+3" с ATRA. Результаты. Ремиссии ОПЛ достигли у всех больных после первого индукционного курса ХТ, у 5 из 6 больных - к моменту РР, одной больной РР выполнили по срочным показаниям в периоде цитопении после курса. Срок беременности на момент РР после ХТ составил 34 (34-40) нед. Самостоятельные срочные роды в условиях акушерского стационара произошли у 2 больных. У 4 из 6 выполняли кесарево сечение. Все дети живы, здоровы, без отклонений в развитии. Возраст детей на момент анализа результатов от 2,5 мес до 15 лет. В настоящее время живы 4 из 9 больных. Поздние рецидивы возникли у 3 (33%) больных. Медиана общей продолжительности жизни 26 (0,25-128) мес, медиана безрецидивной продолжительности жизни - 17,5 (0-127) мес. Заключение. Лечение ОПЛ у беременных, направленное на "спасение двух жизней" эффективно и оправдано.
