Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Chemotherapy is known to cure a small minority of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Less is known about the risk of such patients developing subsequent cancers or about their ability to return to work. METHODS:The authors analyzed outcomes among 1892 patients who received treatment for newly diagnosed AML at the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center from 1965 to May 1995. RESULTS:Because failure rates declined to relatively low levels after a first or later complete remission of > or = 3 years' duration, such patients comprised a "potentially cured" cohort. The criterion for entry into this cohort was fulfilled by 215 patients (10.7%; 203 in first complete remission and 12 in second remission). At a median of 6.2 years after entry into the cohort (i.e., 9.2 years from complete remission), 163 patients (76%) remain alive and in complete remission. Approximately 9% and 5% of the 1892 patients have been in complete remission for > 5 years and > 10 years, respectively. The pretreatment prognostic importance of cytogenetics is still apparent even after 5 years in complete remission. On average, members of the potentially cured cohort were not observed to be at increased risk of subsequent invasive malignancies compared with a normal population. Furthermore, two-thirds of those in the potentially cured cohort who were working full time before diagnosis of AML claimed to have returned to full-time work. Of those not working, only 10% cited physical limitation as the reason. CONCLUSIONS:The major threat to the life and well-being of the patient with AML is clearly the disease and not its treatment.
