Successful treatment of hairy cell leukaemia with pegylated interferon-alpha-2A.
Introduction: Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is an indolent B-cell lymphoproliferative disease. Interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) was the first successfully used drug in HCL; its favourable effect has been known since the early 1980s. However, currently the first-line treatment of the disease consists of purine nucleoside analogs.
Objectives: The aim of our study was to assess the efficacy of pegylated IFN-alpha in HCL patients treated with this drug at a single university center.
Methods: We report the treatment characteristics and outcome of seven classical HCL patients treated with pegylated IFN-alpha at the Department of Internal Medicine and Oncology, Semmelweis University.
Results: As a result of pegylated interferon-alpha treatment, 3 of 7 patients (3/7) achieved an unconfirmed complete remission, 3 of 7 patients (3/7) achieved partial remission. One patient had stable disease while receiving pegylated IFN-alpha. Only mild adverse effects and no infectious complications were observed during our treatment.
Conclusion: Our clinical data support that pegylated IFN-alpha in monotherapy is effective and safe even in elderly and frail HCL patients. It may also be a preferred therapeutic option in patients with profound immunosuppression and in patients with severe active infections.
期刊介绍:
Pathology & Oncology Research (POR) is an interdisciplinary Journal at the interface of pathology and oncology including the preclinical and translational research, diagnostics and therapy. Furthermore, POR is an international forum for the rapid communication of reviews, original research, critical and topical reports with excellence and novelty. Published quarterly, POR is dedicated to keeping scientists informed of developments on the selected biomedical fields bridging the gap between basic research and clinical medicine. It is a special aim for POR to promote pathological and oncological publishing activity of colleagues in the Central and East European region. The journal will be of interest to pathologists, and a broad range of experimental and clinical oncologists, and related experts. POR is supported by an acknowledged international advisory board and the Arányi Fundation for modern pathology.
