Abstract
Introduction
In recent years, the correlation between CD117 antigen and the prognosis of hematological malignancies has been demonstrated. However, there is limited literature on the clinical significance of CD117 antigen in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyze the clinical features and prognostic significance of CD117 in APL.
Methods
In this study, we retrospectively investigated the clinicopathological characteristics, outcome, and prognostic impact of negative CD117 expression (CD117−) in 169 APL patients treated with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and arsenic trioxide (ATO) containing regimen.
Results
The median follow-up period was 63.0 months. CD117− was detected in 13 APL patients (7.7%). No significant differences were found in baseline characteristics between CD117+ and CD117− subgroups. However, compared to CD117+ APL, the incidence of early death (ED) was significantly higher in CD117− APL (p = 0.023). By multivariate analysis, CD117- was an independent adverse prognostic factor for overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) (p = 0.022 and p = 0.014, respectively).
Conclusions
To sum up, CD117− is associated with greater risk of ED and has the statistical power to predict inferior OS and PFS, this marker may be considered to build prognostic scores for risk-adapted therapeutic strategies in APL management.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Laboratory Hematology provides a forum for the communication of new developments, research topics and the practice of laboratory haematology.
The journal publishes invited reviews, full length original articles, and correspondence.
The International Journal of Laboratory Hematology is the official journal of the International Society for Laboratory Hematology, which addresses the following sub-disciplines: cellular analysis, flow cytometry, haemostasis and thrombosis, molecular diagnostics, haematology informatics, haemoglobinopathies, point of care testing, standards and guidelines.
The journal was launched in 2006 as the successor to Clinical and Laboratory Hematology, which was first published in 1979. An active and positive editorial policy ensures that work of a high scientific standard is reported, in order to bridge the gap between practical and academic aspects of laboratory haematology.
