Abstract
Osteonecrosis (ON) is a known complication of acute leukemia (AL) management, affecting 1%-10% of young patients and resulting in long-term morbidity. Widespread access to MRI over the past decade has allowed earlier detection and more accurate assessment. This study investigated clinical and MRI features of the 129 (2.5%) patients with symptomatic ON retrospectively recruited from the French LEA (Leucémies de l'Enfant et de l'Adolescent, or child and adolescent leukemias) cohort (n = 4,973). We analyzed data concerning ON risk factors, multifocal involvement, severe lesions detected by MRI, and patient quality of life (QoL). ON patients tended to be >10 years old at the time of AL diagnosis (odds ratio [OR]: 22.46; p < 10-6), female (OR: 1.8; p = 0.002), or treated for relapse (OR: 1.81; p = 0.041). They more frequently suffered from other sequelae (p < 10-6). Most necroses involved weight-bearing joints, and they were multifocal in 69% of cases. Double-blinded review of MRIs for 39 patients identified severe lesions in 14, usually in the hips. QoL of adolescents and adults was poor and permanently impacted after onset of ON. In conclusion, age >10 at time of AL diagnosis, female sex, and relapse occurrence were risk factors for multifocal ON; MRI revealed severe ON in a third of the patients considered; and ON was associated with persistently poor QoL affecting multiple domains. Future studies should include prospective data addressing ON management and seek to identify genetic markers for targeted screening enabling early ON detection and treatment.
期刊介绍:
PHO: Pediatric Hematology and Oncology covers all aspects of research and patient management within the area of blood disorders and malignant diseases of childhood. Our goal is to make PHO: Pediatric Hematology and Oncology the premier journal for the international community of clinicians and scientists who together aim to define optimal therapeutic strategies for children and young adults with cancer and blood disorders. The journal supports articles that address research in diverse clinical settings, exceptional case studies/series that add novel insights into pathogenesis and/or clinical care, and reviews highlighting discoveries and challenges emerging from consortia and conferences. Clinical studies as well as basic and translational research reports regarding cancer pathogenesis, genetics, molecular diagnostics, pharmacology, stem cells, molecular targeting, cellular and immune therapies and transplantation are of interest. Papers with a focus on supportive care, late effects and on related ethical, legal, psychological, social, cultural, or historical aspects of these fields are also appreciated. Reviews on important developments in the field are welcome. Articles from scientists and clinicians across the international community of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology are considered for publication. The journal is not dependent on or connected with any organization or society. All submissions undergo rigorous peer review prior to publication. Our Editorial Board includes experts in Pediatric Hematology and Oncology representing a wide range of academic and geographic diversity.
